The Annual Membership Meeting of The Augustan Society, Inc., is required by the [[By-Laws]], which also require it to be called at 10am on 18 August each year. For practical reasons, it is normally immediatley immediately recessed to the following Saturday at the site of the [[Annual Convention]].
The Annual Membership Meeting is open to the public, by law. Roll of members is taken by list to determine if a quorum is present. A quorum is 10% of the membership, and as such it is exceedingly rare has not been possible to obtan obtain a quorumsince the Society moved from Torrance.
Actions that may take place at a meeting without a quorum are few, but they normally include:
#Announcing the results of the annual [[Elections]] of [[Directors]];#Presentation of the Consuls' annual [[State of the Society]] address.
Should a quorum be obtained, additional actions possible are limited to:
#Actions referred to the Annual Membership Meeting by the [[Board]];
#Proposing actions for either [[Board]] or next year's [[Annual Membership Meeting]]; and
#Resolutions to the Board, imploring their action.
This limited scope is because the Board is generally in charge of the conduct of the Society, with little authority left to the membership at large.
