<p>Thus if there are at least three Board Members, if one leaves the
room - the last two can call a meeting, see that there is no
quorum, send notice to the third, adjourn the meeting and then
after at least 24 hours, conduct a meeting in quorum assuming then
that there are at least three Board members. If this happens - it
must be minuted.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Well - it depends. If a non-quorate
meeting was called and then adjourned for 24 hours and
reconvened they would gain quorum under the bylaws.</div>

<div dir="ltr">The question becomes - and this is
where I am uncertain and believe it is open to debate - can
a meeting be called knowing full well that quorum cannot be
there and then adjourned for 24 hours to gain quorum -
thereby deliberately exploiting a loophole. It is one thing
to call a meeting thinking you would have quorum - not
getting it - adjourning for 24 hours and then gaining quorum
after giving notice to the absent directors. It is another
thing entirely to call a meeting knowing full well quorum
could not be met and having no one to give notice to.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Either way at bare minimum a meeting
would have had to be called - adjourned 24 hours - and then
reconvened to be quorate. This would have to be minuted.
The board has been silent on if this process was followed
despite members asking the question. Once again we face a
situation where this organization is not answering
legitimate questions from its members - and to me that is
even more troublesome than the quorum issue.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Furthermore - last I checked the board
of directors page online had updated the chair and vice
chair but was still showing the old directors listed as
current - why has that not been updated to show the vacant
seats accordingly</div>
