Guest Lois Posted March 15, 2018 at 05:11 AM Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 at 05:11 AM Can anyone tell me what happens if a board starts out with 9 members, has two people quit and does not readily refill the positions, then at a board meeting 6 of the remaining members attend a meeting but two jump up and say they quit and leave. The remaining 4 stay and conduct the business for that meeting. Did we actually have a quorum available to do this business? In other words do the 2 vacancies still count when figuring your quorum needs in which case we would have needed to have 5 left at that meeting to actually have a quorum for business purpose or were we ok based on the 7 actual members still on the board by having only the 4 left at the meeting. Confused now, ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zev Posted March 15, 2018 at 06:31 AM Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 at 06:31 AM The quorum of the board is going to depend on what the bylaws say it is. If the bylaws say nothing on this subject then the quorum is a majority of the members and a new majority is computed if anyone quits.

Richard Brown Posted March 15, 2018 at 03:37 PM Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 at 03:37 PM Agreeing with guest Zev, unless the bylaws provide otherwise, the quorum is based on the number of living breathing members currently in office.
