Special General Meetings and Special Resolutions – A Special General Meeting (SGM), is held to deal with specific motions or business that requires a vote by the whole membership.
An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is an urgent meeting called to address pressing company issues or emergencies. These matters require the immediate attention of the board, shareholders and senior company executives. An EGM is also referred to as a special general meeting or an emergency general meeting.
A general meeting of members other than an AGM is often referred to as a special general meeting. These meetings are held so the whole membership can deal with specific motions or business. For example, to change the rules of the association.
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.
Companies may need to call special meetings from time to time to vote on specific issues. For example, they could call a special meeting to decide on proposed changes to a company's constitution or to alter shareholders' rights. Shareholders and directors can attend these meetings.

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.
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.
In contrast, a special board meeting is a meeting that is not scheduled well in advance and is called by someone – authorized either under the law or the organization's bylaws – for a special purpose.
