Section 7: Order of Business:

The order of business at the annual meeting of the members and, so far as possible, at all other meetings of the
members, shall be essentially as follows:

  1. Report as to the number of members present in person and the number of members that have voted by mail in order to determine the existence of a quorum.
  2. Reading of the notice of the meeting and proof of the due publication or mailing thereof, or the waiver or waivers of notice of the meeting, as the case may be.
  3. Reading of unapproved minutes of the previous meetings of the members and the taking of necessary action thereon.
  4. Presentation and consideration of reports of officers, directors, and committees.
  5. Election of directors.
  6. Unfinished business.
  7. New business.
  8. Adjournment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors or the members themselves may from time to time establish a different order of business for the purpose of assuring the earlier consideration of any action upon any item of business the transaction of which is necessary or desirable in advance of any other item of business; provided, however, that no business other than adjournment of the meeting to another time and place may be transacted until and unless the existence of a quorum is first established.
