Three days before a special meeting, a public body must post written notice on its principal bulletin board or usual meeting room door. (For example, a public body must post by Tuesday for a Friday meeting.) The posted notice must include the date, time, and place of the 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.
Your notice must follow state and company guidelines, but it should have your company name , the date and time of the meeting, the location of the meeting, an agenda , and notes . For more information about how to prepare a notice of meeting, read this article.
In addition to specifying the date, time and location of the meeting, special meeting notices should make note of all agenda items. Unless the bylaws indicate something different, board members should only be discussing the business that was stated in the notice for the special 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.
A meeting notice should include the following key details: Name and contact information of the meeting chair. Name and role of the sender of the meeting notice. Names and roles of all the invitees. Type of meeting — regular, annual, or special. Date, time and location of the meeting (the notice should also be dated)
The Open Meeting Law (Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13D) requires public bodies to meet in open session unless otherwise permitted and provide meeting notices to the public. This law applies to both state-level public bodies and local public bodies, such as county boards, city councils, and school boards.
