Adjournment
The above is a sample and intended to be tailored for each meeting as required. One important comment is added because procedure is sometimes misapplied in meetings.
* The entry ‘Other Business’ should not be used to introduce an issue not previously made known to the Board members. Such action is referred to as an ‘ambush’. Members are not expected to deal with unannounced items, since not having been previously informed, they are unlikely to be prepared for any meaningful debate. If allowed, it may lead to unwise, unconsidered decisions.
To introduce ‘new’ business, the proper procedure is to notify the Secretary a few days in advance of the meeting and request an issue be added to the agenda – then, when the agenda is circulated, the Board is cognizant of what will be discussed.
* ‘Other business’ is an entry to be used for re-visiting an item previously addressed in past meeting(s) and for which discussion took place but the matter was not adequately resolved – unfinished business.
