What can owners/members do during an open board meeting?

During an open board meeting, the primary role of owners or members is to sit and listen while the board conducts business. This format fosters transparency and allows members to observe how the board operates.

Owners or members typically do not have the ability to intervene in discussions or actively participate in decision-making during these meetings. Their presence serves to ensure accountability and to enable them to stay informed about the issues being discussed. If there are opportunities for members to speak, those are generally structured and governed by specific rules, ensuring that the board can conduct its business efficiently.

It's important for members to understand their role at these meetings, as it helps maintain order and respects the board's responsibility to manage the community effectively.
