What is a business meeting?
It is our monthly opportunity to inform the members of the progress of the committees, induct new members, invite speakers and groups to come and talk, and of course plan future events. The meetings follow protocol and are usually formal in nature. We often have a separate board meeting and committee meetings where business is discussed and a general meeting that features a presenter to the club. They may meet in-person once times a month. We also meet up once a month for a social event, to grow together as a group.
