Legal Definitions - called meeting

A called meeting is a type of meeting that is not regularly scheduled and is called for a specific purpose. It is also known as a special meeting.

For example, a company may hold a called meeting to discuss a particular issue that needs immediate attention, such as a financial crisis or a change in leadership. Another example is a school board holding a called meeting to discuss a controversial policy change.

The purpose of a called meeting is to address a specific issue or make a decision that cannot wait until the next regularly scheduled meeting. It allows the organization to act quickly and efficiently.
