Requirements for eligible chapter meetings
Because Thrivent Financial is domiciled in Wisconsin, regular meetings are a legal requirement for chapters of fraternal benefit societies. Chapter are legally required to meet at least once every three months. However, the chapter leadership board should meet as often as necessary to remain a viable, active chapter—quarterly at a minimum.
Most chapter leadership boards will want to meet most months to review activity requests in a timely manner.
To qualify for a meeting, a simple majority (a quorum) of the elected leaders must attend and participate (e.g., if a chapter has six elected leaders, at least four of the leaders must participate). Chapter advisory leaders are encouraged, but not required, to attend regular meetings.
