The '''Annual 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]], if any. It is not uncommon for there to be no quorum on the 18th, and if there is also no quorum at the Annual Convention, the meeting is normally concluded without further recess and any actions needed will be disposed of in other ways (normallyy normally by mail ballot).
The Annual 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 only rarely been possible to obtain a quorum since the Society moved from Torrance.
* Hearing presentations from such Committees and Sub-Groups as desire to do so.
Between 2007 and 2016, this was also the time for presentation of the annual [[State of the Society]] address. This has sometimes been delayed to the following Board meeting when subject matter was sensitive. Though previously presented by one of the [[Consuls]], it is now the responsibility of the [[PresidentChairman]] , or if that office is vacant, the [[ChairmanPresident]].
Should a quorum be obtained, additional actions possible are limited to:
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.
