A notice of meeting is a written document that informs company members and shareholders that a meeting will take place. It is an invitation that details the time and place of the scheduled meeting and also informs stakeholders of the topics to be discussed.
Notice must be given to each director and the notice must indicate the proposed time, date and place of the meeting. Notice does not need to be in writing but it is best practice to have a form of written notice sent out.
In essence, a formal meeting has a structured schedule and agenda with set protocols and an official notetaker. An informal meeting has a looser agenda and fewer protocols. In general, formal meetings tend to focus on one or a few key speakers, with attendees playing a more passive role.
Include the agenda, date, time, and location Determine the agenda for the meeting and write it down. Decide on the date and time for the meeting, making sure to account for any potential conflicts. Choose the location for the meeting and include the address. Put all of this information into the meeting notice.
(1) Subject to subsection (2), at least 21 days notice must be given of a meeting of a company's members. However, if a company has a constitution, it may specify a longer minimum period of notice.
A proper meeting notice should include: Date, Time, and Venue: Clear details on when and where the meeting will take place. Purpose of the Meeting: A brief description of the meeting's objectives. Agenda: An outline of topics to be discussed; this helps attendees prepare for the meeting.
A notice of meeting letter is a document that informs a group of people when and where their company is holding an assembly. These letters effectively communicate the meeting's information so that the recipients know when the meeting occurs.
Under the Act, the length of notice required to be given for a general meeting called by the directors is generally a minimum of 14 clear days, although the articles may set out a longer period. (A longer period is also required where certain resolutions are being proposed.)
