Rule VIII-2 Emergency Meetings

Emergency meetings of the Alaska Bar Association are defined as those meetings held at times other than the annual business meeting. Emergency meetings shall be called by the President upon a majority vote of the Board of Governors, or upon the receipt of a written application signed by not less than 25 percent of the active members of the Alaska Bar Association. Emergency meetings may consider only those matters that are specifically set forth in the call of the meeting. Notice of an emergency meeting shall be published electronically on the State of Alaska’s Online Public Notice system and on the Alaska Bar’s website, shall state the time and the place within the State where the meeting will be held, and shall be given as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the date of the emergency meeting. Each notice shall state specifically the matters to be considered at the emergency meeting.
