Guest shirley Posted March 24, 2021 at 07:55 PM Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 at 07:55 PM My local chapter of an international organization has a regularly scheduled meeting tomorrow. The weather is forecast to be quite severe so some have asked about postponing the meeting. Our chapter rules nor do the other governing documents state anything about how to handle this type of situation. I've searched the forum here but was unable to find questions similar to this. Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your time. There is nothing in RONR which allows the meeting to be postponed by making some announcement outside of a meeting setting. One member could actually go to the site at the appointed time and call the meeting to order and set an adjourned meeting (another meeting which would be a continuation of the same session) for a convenient time before the next regular meeting. Then let everyone know about it. See §22 in RONR (12th ed.) I'm not sure I'd recommend that if it's not completely safe to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
