Special meetings are ones that are unscheduled, as opposed to ones that occur at a regular, fixed time and place. Emergency meetings consist solely of situations that call for immediate action to protect the public peace, health or safety.
Here are a few valid reasons for calling a special meeting: An urgent matter needs to be dealt with before the next regular meeting. There is a proposal to amend bylaws. Adopting or amending special rules of order. Amending or rescinding something that was previously adopted.
Special Committee Meetings – Urgent meetings of the committee are called Special Committee Meetings and are usually called to deal with a dispute or grievance or other matters of urgency. Minutes from the committee meeting are not available to the members. General Meetings - General meetings are for all members.
In contrast, a special board meeting is a meeting that is not scheduled well in advance and is called by someone – authorized either under the law or the organization's bylaws – for a special purpose.
If the time and place of a directors' meeting is fixed by the bylaws or the board of directors, the meeting is a regular meeting. All other meetings are special meetings.
Special meetings usually address issues that need immediate attention or that need more time and discussion than can be handled in routine board or annual meetings.
Ordinary resolution is used for routine or regular matters while Special resolution is used for important or significant matters. Ordinary resolution is less formal and Special resolution is more formal.
