In a mass meeting or in an organization in which the membership cannot be accurately determined, the quorum consists of those who attend the meeting. In committees and boards, a quorum is a majority of the members of the board or committee unless provided otherwise.
If no quorum is present, the meeting can still be conducted however, the business will need to be held over until later when a quorum is present. Without a quorum, no business can be conducted.
No quorum means no business can be conducted (no motions can be passed!) Reading of minutes may be waived (thank goodness!!)
If the quorum is not present within half an hour of the time set for the meeting to begin, then the following options will be applicable: The meeting will be adjourned, and it shall be held on the same day and at the same time next week, or any other date and time as the Board may determine.
