What can happen if a quorum is not present at a Board meeting?

A quorum is the minimum number of members required to be present at a meeting to conduct official business. If a quorum is not present, it means that the meeting cannot make binding decisions or take official actions.

When a quorum is absent, the Board may choose to adjourn the meeting, which means they can end it without conducting any further business. This option ensures that any decisions or resolutions that require a vote are not invalidated due to the lack of sufficient attendance.

While some organizations might have rules that allow for discussions without a quorum, the lack of a quorum typically restricts the ability to vote or make official decisions. Therefore, the correct response acknowledges the proper procedure under these circumstances, ensuring that any actions taken without a quorum are not formalized, maintaining the integrity of the Board's decision-making process.
