Question: Our nonprofit board frequently struggles with questions about quorum requirements in our Bylaws and what is required by law, can you help us understand what the law requires?
Answer: The good news is that nonprofit organizations have a lot of freedom in setting their own quorum requirements. The Virginia Nonstock Corporation Act allows the drafters of a nonprofit’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to set quorum requirements as they wish, providing default requirements if the governing documents do not specify otherwise. One size does NOT fit all in this case.
