Board Meetings shall be held at the head office and during the office hours of the Company or at any other appropriate place and time convenient for the Directors to attend. The subject matters of Board Meetings shall be decided by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Unless the nonprofit is a governmental entity, there is no obligation to open board meetings to the public. (“Governmental entities” would include school boards, state educational organizations, such as a state university, and quasi-governmental groups such as public libraries.)
