If an annual or special meeting does not achieve quorum, which type of meeting is called?

The appropriate type of meeting that is called when an annual or special meeting does not achieve quorum is known as a Town Hall gathering. A Town Hall gathering is typically used as an informal meeting where community members can come together to discuss issues, share opinions, or seek information without the formal constraints of a quorum requirement. This type of meeting allows associations to engage with their members and address concerns or topics that may not have been resolved due to the lack of quorum.

In a scenario where a formal meeting fails to meet the requisite number of participants needed to make decisions (quorum), transitioning to a more casual and open format such as a Town Hall gathering can ensure that members remain informed and engaged in the community’s affairs. This setting encourages participation and dialogue among residents, helping maintain communication and transparency even when official decisions cannot be made.

Other types of meetings such as emergency meetings, special sessions, or informational meetings typically have different purposes and may not address the issue of quorum directly or may not encourage the same level of open discussion among community members.
