Guest Moksha Posted November 22, 2018 at 01:41 AM Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 at 01:41 AM Our Constitution says we need to mail the General Body notice 21 days prior to the meeting. One set was mailed in time and another set was not mailed in time due to Printer's error. What is the recourse for us? The Constitution clearly says when the GB needs to be held along with elections on a particular day of the year. Can we still go ahead and have the GB meeting and elections? Can the Board approve the delayed mailing as long as contestants agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with J.J. it is more important to give the proper notice. Nothing disastrous happens if you fail to have the annual meeting at the specified time, but if you have it without giving proper notice, everything done at that meeting can be called into question.

Richard Brown Posted November 22, 2018 at 05:39 PM Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 at 05:39 PM Guest Moksha, while you are at it, please quote your bylaw provision regarding terms of office. Be sure to include any provision that says officers shall serve for a term of X years and / or until their successors are elected. Also include any language as to when the new officers take office.

If this is the case, then I don't think the meeting can be rescheduled in advance. It must convene on the specified day. Whether or not a quorum is present, an adjourned meeting can then be set on a date for which adequate notice has already been given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not necessarily true. Wait until guest Moksha answers our questions . Holding the meeting without proper notice having been given can be much more problematic than holding the meeting at a later date when proper notice is given, notwithstanding the provision in the bylaws which specifies a date for the meeting.
