An HOA meeting is a gathering of board members and/or community members to conduct business, evaluate projects, voice opinions and concerns, make decisions, and more. HOA meetings are typically mandated by law, but how they're structured and organized, and their frequency, can vary.

Another thing that state laws or governing documents dictate is quorum requirements. In North Carolina, unless the bylaws say otherwise, an annual meeting reaches a quorum if the persons entitled to cast 10% of the votes for the board election are in attendance or present by proxy at the start of the meeting.
The discussion helps to inform board members and shareholders of the company's latest developments. AGMs also allow shareholders to express their concerns and have their questions answered by the board. Shareholders can also vote for or against measures such as director remuneration.
Subdivisions with homeowners' associations established after Jan. 1, 1999, are governed by the North Carolina Planned Community Act found in Chapter 47F of the North Carolina General Statutes. However, no state or federal agency oversees homeowners' associations.
If an annual meeting is not conducted and/or is unable to take place due to a lack of quorum, the directors then in office generally continue to serve on the board until successors have been formally elected and qualified.
The notice must be clear, concise and comply with all the relevant legal requirements. It must state the date, time and place of the meeting along with the general nature of the business which is to be conducted.

Report on specific dialogue or personal opinions of what was said at the meeting. While some HOA Boards may be tempted to record this information in an effort to be transparent, this is a big no-no. This will also help to keep the length of minutes down. Include homeowner forum topics and discussion in the minutes.
