For special or emergency meetings of the Board of Directors (and Committees), the Virginia Property Owners Association Act, Section 55.1-1816B, requires notice, "reasonable under the circumstances." Oddly the same section requires notice of each meeting" of the Board of Directors be published, but states nothing about the timing of the notice. That sentence would seem to apply to regular meetings.

How many days notice are others in Virginia giving of regular, special and emergency meetings? Is 5 days enough for all those meetings?

Thanks for your help. This is my first day on HOATalk and I've already had valuable help. Leslie

I say reasonable is the deciding word. As an example a flooding toilet ruining clubhouse carpeting is not something that should be waited on. A burnt out street light is something that could be waited on. Someone has to decide.

Leslie,

I served on the board for 10 years (self managed, HOA, town home community).

We never had an emergency meeting of the board.
If something happened that was an "emergency", we would utilize actions without meetings.
I recall this occurring, perhaps once or twice a year (typically when a tree fell in a storm).

As for notice of regular meetings, we had a schedule three months out published in our newsletter and on our website.
