So if it's a shareholder's meeting, the people might have some voting power and be able to provide their opinion on things at hand (when their opinion is asked for by those with power, such as directors).
While corporate board members are present at shareholder meetings, the main voice in these settings is that of the investors. Owning company stock provides holders with equity and, depending on the type of stock they own, the right to vote during shareholder meetings.
All shareholders must be notified of the format, date, time, and place of the meeting. How far in advance notices should be distributed may depend on your state, but generally, they should be sent out more than 10 days prior to the meeting, but less than 60 days.
Any director may call a directors' meeting by giving notice of the meeting to the directors or by authorising the company secretary to give such notice.
