Quarterly general meetings are held roughly every three months to assess the state of the Society, its space and treasure and to establish future goals. They are hosted by the board and announced in advance so as to encourage member participation.
This page is a work in progress to provide a handy guide outlining the roles, responsibilities, and requirements to help general meetings run quickly and effectively. This is not intended to replace or be a substitute for the Bylaws which are the ultimate authority for how general meetings are to be executed.
