A closed meeting is a type of gathering where participation is limited to a specific group of individuals, often by invitation or membership. These meetings are not open to the general public and typically involve confidential or sensitive discussions. Key characteristics of closed meetings include:
Restricted access to a defined set of participants, such as board members, committee members, or authorized personnel.
A focus on confidential matters, strategic planning, or discussions that require a high level of privacy.
An invitation-only format to ensure that only individuals with relevant interests or responsibilities are present.
Adherence to strict confidentiality guidelines to protect sensitive information discussed during the meeting.
Often used in corporate, legal, or governmental settings where privacy and discretion are paramount.
