The following is a template of a form for a Notice of First Meeting Board of Trustees for the first meeting of a newly formed non-profit corporation.
The New Jersey Waiver of Notice and Consent to Holding of Organizational Meeting of the Board of Trustees of a Nonprofit Church Corporation is a legal document that allows a nonprofit church corporation's board of trustees to hold an organizational meeting without providing prior notice to all members of the board. This waiver is essential when all trustees agree to waive their rights to receive notice of the meeting and consent to holding it without proper notice. By signing this waiver, the board is acknowledging that they have agreed to hold the meeting without the usual notice requirements. There are different types of waivers that can be used in New Jersey for this purpose, depending on the specific circumstances: 1. General Waiver of Notice and Consent: This waiver can be used when all trustees are present at the meeting or have signed the waiver in advance, indicating their consent to hold the meeting without notice. 2. Limited Waiver of Notice and Consent: This waiver is used when only a subset of the board of trustees is present or has provided consent. It specifies the names of the trustees who have agreed to waive notice and attend the meeting. 3. Unanimous Written Consent Waiver: Instead of holding a physical meeting, the board can give their unanimous written consent to the decisions that would typically be made at an organizational meeting. This type of waiver is ideal when it is challenging for all trustees to physically gather for a meeting. 4. Emergency Waiver of Notice: In urgent situations, an emergency waiver can be used, which allows the board to hold a meeting without the usual prior notice. It is typically used when immediate action or decision-making is required but does not abide by the regular notice period. It's important to consult with a legal professional or use a well-vetted template specific to New Jersey laws when drafting these waivers to ensure they comply with all applicable regulations. The waivers should clearly state the purpose of the meeting, the date and time, and include the signatures of the consenting trustees.
