QUESTION: Do ballots establish
quorum for all actions at an annual meeting or only for the election part of
the meeting?
ANSWER:
Ballots establish quorum for the meeting
as a whole. However, new matters cannot be raised and voted on from the floor at
the annual meeting. Only incidental matters may be voted on by the membership, such as
approving the minutes, closing balloting, adjourning the meeting, etc.
Any
significant business requires notice to the membership, secret balloting, and a 30-day voting
period.
