Quorum
The minimum number of board members (or shareholders) who must be present at a meeting for the proceedings and votes to be legally valid. Quorum requirements are specified in the company's bylaws and typically require a majority of directors to be present. Without a quorum, the board cannot conduct official business or pass binding resolutions. Understanding quorum rules is essential for scheduling meetings and ensuring that governance decisions have legal standing.
