Meetings of the Executive Committee may be conducted by conference call or other electronic means which allow all of the participants to hear and speak to each other at the same time.

Vacant positions shall not be counted in determining the necessary number of persons required to be present for a quorum.

The Executive Committee may also take action on urgent matters, which in the judgment of the Chapter Chair should be acted on before the next meeting, by a vote conducted by e-mail or other such electronic means. The Chapter Chair shall initiate such a vote by sending to all members of the Executive Committee an e-mail or other such electronic message which contains the proposed resolution. The resolution will be deemed approved if two-thirds of all of the members of the Executive Committee respond affirmatively. The results of the vote shall be set forth in the minutes of the next meeting.
