Special Meetings

A “special meeting” refers a board meeting or an association membership meeting that is called at a time or for a purpose other than at the regularly scheduled time, place or purpose for a meeting. Special meetings are not mentioned in the Davis-Stirling Act, but the Davis-Stirling Act has specific requirements for notices and agendas for all board meetings (Civ. Code §4900 et seq.) Provisions relating to meetings and voting that could occur at special member meetings are found in Civil Code section 5000 and section 5100 et seq. Special meetings of the board and members are mentioned in the Corporations Code section 7211 (special board meetings) and sections 7510 & 7511 (special member meetings). For example, a notice of a special member meeting must specify the general nature of the business to be transacted, and no other business may be transacted.
