Adjournment

[Guest David Flanders]

Does the chair of the meeting simply adjourn the meeting at the end, or must he/she ask for a motion?

[Dan Honemann]

"When it appears that there is no further business in a meeting of an ordinary local society that normally goes through a complete order of business (41) at each regular meeting (9), the chair, instead of waiting or calling for a motion to adjourn, can ask, 'Is there any further business?' If there is no response, the chair can then say, 'Since there is no further business, the meeting is adjourned.'”  RONR, 12th ed., 21:15
