At a special meeting, members can discuss only the business that was stated in the notification (which is referred to as the call to the meeting). If some emergency business is transacted for which no notice was given, the organization must ratify that business at a regular meeting or at another special meeting.
The notice must provide directors with the date, time, and location of the meeting. Although technically, the purpose of the meeting does not have to be provided, it is generally a good idea to include an agenda or similar information so directors know what to expect and why it is important to attend.
An agenda is an outline of the issues that a group will discuss during its meeting. The officers of the organization prepare the agenda with assistance from the organization advisor. An agenda starts with a list of general business items.
