TREBOR Posted October 27, 2018 at 02:03 AM Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 at 02:03 AM The bylaws require a meeting notice of thirty (30) days. The notice is not sent out 18 days before the meeting. Is the meeting a valid meeting? Where in RONR can I find the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted October 27, 2018 at 02:13 AM Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 at 02:13 AM If the notice requirement wasn't complied with then no business can be validly conducted at that meeting. See RONR p. 251(a). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted October 27, 2018 at 02:16 AM Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 at 02:16 AM Is this a regular meeting or a special meeting? Do your bylaws require 30 days notice for both regular meetings and special meetings? Also, are your regular meetings on a regular schedule, such as the second Tuesday of each month at the same time and place? Is this provided for in your bylaws? Generally, if the notice requirement for a meeting is not complied with, any business conducted at the meeting would be invalid. However, let's first make sure that your bylaws actually require individual notice of each meeting It will help if you can actually quote the bylaw provision regarding notice. Please quote it exactly, don't paraphrase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please quote it exactly, don't paraphrase It is a semi-annual meeting, required in the spring and another in the fall. See below for the bylaw provision. J. "The official call of the Semi-annual Conclaves shall be distributed to all member clubs’ presidents and delegates at least thirty (30) days prior to the conclave." "Conclave" is the organization's name for these meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this, I would agree with Chris Harrison that proper notice has not been given and that any business conducted at such a meeting would be invalid. It would not be a valid properly called meeting. Edited to add: See pages 4, 89 and 400 for information on notice of meetings.
