    The question came up at our recent Annual Meeting as to whether our board meetings need to be open to all members (of which there are about 85). In the past our board meetings have always been closed. Thoughts and/or statute citings appreciated. Thank you.

    Mary Denison, attorney at 2016 MARA conference, wrote:

    "I do not believe a Board can actually deny admission of a member to a meeting, but that does not mean that the member can speak or vote, just simply observe. I would refrain from open invitations in the future however."

    Of course, all annual meetings where there's voting on assessments are open.
