How often must a meeting of the Association be held?

The correct answer is that a meeting of the Association must be held at least annually. This requirement ensures regular communication and participation among members, allowing them to discuss important issues, plan for future activities, and make key decisions. Holding meetings on an annual basis helps maintain transparency within the association and keeps all members informed about its operations, governance, and any changes that may need to be addressed.

While more frequent meetings, such as monthly or bi-monthly, can be beneficial for larger or more active associations, the minimum requirement is set to ensure that all members have the opportunity to gather and contribute, even if they cannot meet more often. The concept of bi-annually further implies that meetings would occur every six months, which is also more frequent than the minimum requirement but does not fulfill the primary objective of establishing regular, consistent communication among members on at least an annual basis. Consequently, the annual meeting serves as a foundational aspect of governance and member engagement.
