Administrative Meetings

Board of Directors

Board of Directors meetings shall be held as often as may be required, but at least once every three months, and shall be called by the President.

A special meeting may be called on the instructions of any two members thereof provided they request the President in writing to call such meeting, and state the business to be brought before the meeting.

Meetings of the Board shall be called by ten days' notice in writing mailed to each member or by three days' notice by telegram, telephone or facsimile transmission.

Any four members shall constitute a quorum, and meetings shall be held without notice if a quorum of the Board is present, provided however, that any business transactions at such meeting shall be ratified at the next regularly called meeting of the Board; otherwise they shall be null and void.

General meetings of the society may be called at any time by the Secretary upon the instructions of the President or Board by notice in writing to the last known address of each member, delivered in mail eight days prior to the date of such meeting.
