N.Y. Religious Corporations Law § 406: Time, place and notice of corporate meetings

§ 406. Time, place and notice of corporate meetings. (a) The annual

corporate meeting of every society incorporated under this article shall

be held at the time and place fixed by its by-laws, or if no time and

place be so fixed, then at a time and place to be first fixed by its

trustees, but to be changed only by a by-law adopted at an annual

meeting.

A special corporate meeting of any such society may be called by the

board of trustees thereof, on its own motion, and shall be called on the

written request of at least ten qualified voters of such society and in

such other manner as the by-laws may prescribe.

(b) The notices of any annual or special meeting shall state the time

and place where it is to be held and shall be mailed to each member

entitled to vote not less than ten nor more than fifty days before the

meeting. Notices shall be mailed to each member at the address which

appears on the books or records of the corporation. The by-laws may

provide for additional methods of giving notice.

(c) Notice of any special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes

for which the meeting is called and no business shall be transacted at

such special meeting except that contained in such notice.

(d) Any provision in the statute or a by-law that a particular action

can be taken only at a meeting "called for that purpose" shall be deemed

to require notice of such purpose as provided in this section four

hundred six. This does not preclude the transaction of other business at

the same meeting if the notice so states.
