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 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 has not been possible to obtain a quorum since 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 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]] consideration or next inclusion in the following year's [[Annual Membership Meeting]];# Resolutions of thanks or commendation; 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.
