CAI's standard reference for meetings and elections has been updated and re-released in a new edition that now addresses how technology has changed the way community associations conduct business. How far can an association go in giving notice electronically? When and how are electronic ballots used, and are they always legal? Can a proxy be emailed to the association? Also includes information on quorums, parliamentary procedures, organizing and implementing elections, and a great checklist of election procedures. (Formerly published as Guide to Annual Meetings, Special Meetings & Elections, GAP 21.)
