March and April – two key months

Nominations for executive positions, including president, first vice-president, second-vice president, etc. are accepted in March and April.

Elections take place at the April general meeting (third Tuesday of the month).

General Meetings
The branch shall hold its monthly General Meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of the months of February, March, April, May, June, September, October, November and December starting at 7:30 PM. The Months of January, July, and August are excluded.

All meetings are run according to the rules set down in Rules of Procedure for Legion Meetings (which are very similar to Roberts Rules of Order). The general format is as follows:

• All members must show their up-to-date membership cards and sign the attendance logbook at the door. At the same table, they can pick up copies of the minutes of the last meeting, the proposed agenda for the current meeting, the monthly financial report and any other reports.

• All meetings commence with the chairperson calling the meeting to order. A Ceremony of Remembrance is observed.

• The Sergeant at Arms reports to the chairperson on whether or not a quorum has been achieved.

• An agenda is presented for approval.

• The president gives his/her report. It, and all other reports by the executive officers, are submitted to the meeting for approval and voted on.

• The treasurer gives the monthly financial report.

• The various chairpersons then give their reports to the meeting for approval.

• When all reports have been delivered, the chairperson asks if there is any new business. At this point, any attendee may ask a question and/or put forth a motion. If someone seconds it, a discussion may follow.
Unless the motion is withdrawn or tabled, a vote will be held.

• The final vote of the evening is on a motion to adjourn. When that motion is passed, there is a short ceremony and the meeting is concluded.

Executive Meetings
Executive meetings are open to the executive officers and standing committee chairpersons only.
