Constitution for Chapters IX Meetings 3. Quorum. A majority of the elected Leadership Board members in office immediately before a meeting begins shall constitute a quorum for conducting business at a meeting. A majority of the Nominating Committee members immediately before a meeting begins shall constitute a quorum for conducting the business of the Nominating Committee.

Chapter meetings are held to conduct chapter business, approve activities, requesting funding, and keep members informed about and involved in chapter activities.

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.
