shljones Posted October 20, 2010 at 01:29 AM Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 at 01:29 AM Our organization's bylaws state that the annual meeting of members must be held anytime between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30. The meeting was scheduled for Nov. 14 by the board of directors, but no notice has been sent out yet. A conflict for the location has come up and now the meeting cannot be held in Nov. What, if anything, can we do to be able to hold the meeting on the first available date in December for the location? There's still time (based on the bylaws) to give notice if the meeting is held in either mid to late Nov. or early Dec. Thanks for your help on this!

Thanks for your help on this!One idea comes to mind - hold the meeting on the 14th, and immediately adopt a motion to Fix the Time to Which to Adjourn, creating an adjourned meeting ( a continuation of the same session), and choose a date in December that all/most can attend. Then adjourn, and meet back in December. You'll want to review Section 22 in RONR (10th Ed.) for details. And stay tuned for more ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no way to run an organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
