Guest Hilary Posted December 29, 2010 at 12:04 AM Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 at 12:04 AM Our By Laws state that our Board may conduct meetings via email. When voting by e-mail, every board member must be provided with the means to participate.My question is - if one Board member temporarily does not have access via email (the means to participate) can meetings still be conducted? My thought is no since all Board members are not available via email. But other members think we can still proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
