In many companies, every shareholder or guarantor can attend and vote at general meetings. However, it depends on the rights attached to each member's shares (in a company limited by shares) or class of membership (in a company limited by guarantee).
If your business is set up and registered as a Corporation, you're required by law to hold an annual shareholder meeting and to document the meeting with minutes.
AGMs are mandatory for both public and private companies. All shareholders are legally obligated to receive an invitation to these meetings. The board of directors should also be represented. An auditor may also be present if the organization is subject to an audit requirement.
