Quorum

A quorum is the minimum number of attendees required for a meeting to be officially recognized and conduct business. It serves as an essential element in ensuring that decisions made during a meeting are legitimate and representative of the group’s interests. Without a quorum, a meeting may lack the authority to make decisions or take actions. Quorum requirements vary depending on the organization’s bylaws, but the concept is crucial in democratic processes to prevent decisions from being made by a select few without broader input.
