Quorum

A quorum is the minimum number of members an association requires to make decisions in a meeting or election. Most associations’ bylaws outline a specific percentage of what qualifies as a quorum. While some associations struggle to achieve quorum because of voter apathy or other issues, it ensures that a small, unrepresentative group doesn’t make decisions for the entire organization. Achieving a quorum before an important vote ensures the association takes actions that reflect the whole membership’s will.
