Can't hurt.  And it could help to keep the meeting on target and allow for effective followup.  \n\nAt many meetings, someone is usually assigned to 'take the minutes" anyway to allow for record keeping and follow up.\n\nJust let everyone know the meeting is being recorded.  \n\nAfter the meeting, you should transcribe the tape, and distribute the "minutes" to all who attended.

All meetings of this kind are held in accordance with Roberts Rules of Order. The agenda is old business, new business, treaurers report, etc.

If they go out of business they can lock them out. There was a company close to where I live that did that a couple years ago. They went out of business over night and locked everyone out. They were all out of job.

It can only be dissolved by the court that issued it. Most are for 6 months or one year. Once they expire, they're moot. One can petition to have the order dissolved or on good cause have it vacated and set aside if there is evidence it was entered erroneously.

I work for a non profit and we have a 9 member BOD. They are responsible, ultimatley, for the management, financial and other conditions of the non profit. They review all monthly, quarterly and yearly financial info, check managment to insure no decisions are made outside the realm of responsibility, maintain the integrity of the non profit, sort of "police" the actions of the employees, and our BOD is a final resting place for any problems or disputes that management cannot handle to the satisfaction of our members. Our BOD is involved in guiding investment decisions, building locations, and the general movement of the organization. They are not figureheads, but real workers. All are unpaid volunteers who love the organization and want to see it succeed. They are not yes men (and women) who blindly give a stamp of approval to management, but do support management greatly. A good BOD is very important to your success, in my opinion.

You should talk to your union representative if you have one.  Sometimes people are forced to resign from their jobs because their bosses threaten them with termination, but they do not realize that they may have a few more rights.  The moment your supervisor mentions termination then you need to demand the right to see your union rep.  Actually, you should postpone any meeting that may led to further discipline until a union rep can be with you at the proceeding.  If you do not have a union representative then maybe you could hire a lawyer and fight to be reinstated or have some sort of compensation.  However, it is often best to move on after leaving a position where you were fired because a dozen windows can often open once you have closed a door.  Life is not perfect, but if is better to find a job that will make you happy and were your boss might appreciate you more.

Non-profit organizations are subject to all the same debt collection practices as for-profit organizations.\n\nHowever, there are ways to structure an organization to protect it from some debt collection practices.  For instance, a large donor could set up a trust that pays the non-profit a little at a time instead of one huge lump sum.  Side corporations could be set up to own the non-profit's equipment and the non-profit could lease the equipment from these entities.  \n\nFor planning specific to your situation, consult both a lawyer and an accountant.

Better Business Bureau cannot really help you - that organization does not have any teeth. All they will do is for you to fill up a complaint form. That's it.\n\nFirst you need to collect proof and hard evidence. Be prepared to do a LOT of follow ups.

As a member of a non-profit, I can tell you that you have your hands full.  We thought we were set up correctly but were not even close so I had to file all the paperwork, set up the organization to stay in compliance etc. \n\nThe people are very good, but the first time they see the stack of paperwork involved PANIC takes over. \n\nTo get them through the panic and denial, get as many of the members involved as possible.  Let them know what is at stake. If the organization is big enough there will probably be someone who will take the helm and do the paperwork.\n\nGive them a timeline. Tell them you need a, b and c done by next month. Break things down into smaller bits for them and check in frequently. You may have a lot of handholding to do.  \n\nThey will feel overwhelmed and maybe even a little angry at having to do so much extra work when their focus is on the work they are trying to do. If they can see that setting up the organization and doing the paperwork will eventually help the organization run more smoothly they will be more willing to get things done.

Roberts Rules of Order govern the conduct of committee meetings.  Any vote of No Confidence would be substantive and its provisions would be found in the charter, law or bylaws of the organization.

A meeting is used to ensure everyones efforts are focused in the right direction.  In order to stay on track, publish an agenda prior to the meeting (so the participants know what you expect of them), and stick to the agenda.  \n\nYou need to keep it on track and short so everyone can get back to work.

Only after, then only by means approved in the by-laws.  The purpose of by-laws is to keep dweebs from running amuck in any organization.  You have to have some kind of order.
