Special meeting

Planned Communities & Condominiums · Text verified 2026-07-25

In plain English: This section covers special (non-routine) membership meetings. The board or others authorized by the articles or bylaws can call one, and members holding at least ten percent of the voting power can force one by signing, dating, and delivering a written demand that describes the meeting's purpose. Whether the ten percent threshold is met is measured as of the thirtieth day before the demand is delivered. Unless the bylaws say otherwise, a special meeting can only address the purposes described in its notice.

10-3702. Special meeting

A. A corporation with members shall hold a special meeting of members either:

1. On the call of its board or of the person or persons authorized to do so by the articles or bylaws.

2. Except as provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a corporation organized primarily for religious purposes, if the holders of at least ten per cent of the voting power of any corporation sign, date and deliver to any corporate officer one or more written demands for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held.

B. The close of business on the thirtieth day before delivery of the demand or demands for a special meeting to any corporate officer is the record date for the purpose of determining whether the ten per cent requirement of subsection A of this section has been met.

C. A corporation may hold a special meeting of members in or out of this state at the place stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws. If no place is stated or fixed in accordance with the bylaws, the corporation shall hold special meetings at the corporation's principal office.

D. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, the corporation may conduct only those matters at a special meeting of members that are within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice required by section 10-3705.
