The EGM is convened at an irregular time to address a crisis. All matters transacted at an EGM are deemed special. For example, the removal of a top executive might constitute the agenda of an extraordinary general meeting.
For example, a company may call a special meeting to discuss a major decision, such as a merger or acquisition. A school board may call a special meeting to address a specific issue, such as a budget shortfall.
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.
Content 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 quick definition of special meeting: A special meeting is a gathering of people that is called for a specific purpose or reason. It is different from a regular meeting because it is not scheduled in advance and is only held when necessary.
Minutes should start with the attendance and continue through the motion to close the meeting (opening and closing of the meeting should have times attached.) Each topic that is discussed should have a brief paragraph summarizing what was discussed.
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.
