Section 605. Notice of meeting of members  


Latest version.
  • (a) Whenever under the provisions of this chapter members are required
      or permitted to take any action at a meeting, written notice shall state
      the  place,  date  and  hour  of the meeting and, unless it is an annual
      meeting, indicate that it is being issued by or at the direction of  the
      person or persons calling the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall
      also  state  the  purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. A
      copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given, personally or by mail,
      to each member entitled to vote at such meeting. If the notice is  given
      personally  or  by first class mail, it shall be given not less than ten
      nor more than fifty days before the date of the meeting;  if  mailed  by
      any other class of mail, it shall be given not less than thirty nor more
      than  sixty days before such date.  If mailed, such notice is given when
      deposited in the United  States  mail,  with  postage  thereon  prepaid,
      directed  to  the  member  at his address as it appears on the record of
      members,  or,  if  he  shall  have  filed  with  the  secretary  of  the
      corporation  a  written  request  that  notices to him be mailed to some
      other address, then directed to him at such other address. An  affidavit
      of  the  secretary  or  other  person giving the notice or of a transfer
      agent of the corporation that the notice required by  this  section  has
      been  given  shall,  in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of
      the facts therein stated. Whenever a  corporation  has  more  than  five
      hundred  members,  the  notice  may be served by publication, in lieu of
      mailing, in a newspaper published in the county in the  state  in  which
      the  principal  office  of  the  corporation is located, once a week for
      three successive weeks next preceding the date of the meeting.
        (b) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not
      be necessary, unless the by-laws require otherwise, to give  any  notice
      of  the  adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is
      adjourned are announced at the  meeting  at  which  the  adjournment  is
      taken,  and at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that
      might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. However,
      if after the adjournment the board fixes  a  new  record  date  for  the
      adjourned  meeting,  a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
      each member of record on the new record date entitled  to  notice  under
      paragraph (a).
