Section 406. Time, place and notice of corporate meetings  


Latest version.
  • (a) The annual
      corporate meeting of every society incorporated under this article shall
      be held at the time and place fixed by its by-laws, or if  no  time  and
      place  be  so  fixed,  then at a time and place to be first fixed by its
      trustees, but to be changed only  by  a  by-law  adopted  at  an  annual
      meeting.
        A  special  corporate meeting of any such society may be called by the
      board of trustees thereof, on its own motion, and shall be called on the
      written request of at least ten qualified voters of such society and  in
      such other manner as the by-laws may prescribe.
        (b)  The notices of any annual or special meeting shall state the time
      and place where it is to be held and shall  be  mailed  to  each  member
      entitled  to  vote not less than ten nor more than fifty days before the
      meeting. Notices shall be mailed to each member  at  the  address  which
      appears  on  the  books  or records of the corporation.  The by-laws may
      provide for additional methods of giving notice.
        (c) Notice of any special meeting shall state the purpose or  purposes
      for  which  the meeting is called and no business shall be transacted at
      such special meeting except that contained in such notice.
        (d) Any provision in the statute or a by-law that a particular  action
      can be taken only at a meeting "called for that purpose" shall be deemed
      to  require  notice  of  such  purpose  as provided in this section four
      hundred six. This does not preclude the transaction of other business at
      the same meeting if the notice so states.
