Here are a few valid reasons for calling a special meeting: An urgent matter needs to be dealt with before the next regular meeting. There is a proposal to amend bylaws. Adopting or amending special rules of order. Amending or rescinding something that was previously adopted.
What is now known in English as an agenda is a list of individual items which must be "acted upon" or processed, usually those matters which must be discussed at a business meeting. Although the Latin word is in a plural form, as a borrowed word in English, the word is singular and has a plural of "agendas".
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.
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.
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.
What to include in a meeting agenda Clarify and define goals. Ask participants for input. List key questions for discussion. Identify the purpose of each task. Allocate time to spend on each agenda item. Identify who leads each topic. End each meeting with a review.
