NRS82.336. Delegates and members: Special meetings; notices.

      1.  A corporation having members entitled to vote on the matter involved must hold a special meeting of delegates or members if:

      (a) The board of directors or persons authorized to do so by the articles or bylaws demand such a meeting; or

      (b) At least 5 percent of the members demand such a meeting.

Ê The demand must state the purpose for the meeting. Those making the demand on the corporation must sign, date and deliver their demand to the president, chair of the board or the treasurer of the corporation. The corporation must then immediately give notice of a special meeting of delegates or members as set forth in subsections 2 to 7, inclusive, or subsection 9.

      2.  Whenever under the provisions of this chapter delegates or members are required or authorized to take any action at a meeting, the notice of the meeting must be in writing and signed by the president or the chair of the board or a vice president, or the secretary, or an assistant secretary, or by such other person or persons as the bylaws may prescribe or permit or the directors designate.

      3.  The notice must state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and the time when, and the place, which may be within or without this State, where it is to be held.

      4.  A copy of the notice must be delivered personally, mailed postage prepaid or given as provided in subsection 9 to each delegate or member, as the case may be, entitled to vote at the meeting not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before such meeting. If mailed, it must be directed to the person at his or her address as it appears upon the records of the corporation. Upon the mailing of any notice the service thereof is complete, and the time of the notice begins to run from the date upon which the notice is deposited in the mail for transmission to the person. Personal delivery of the notice to any officer of a corporation or association, or to any member of a partnership, constitutes delivery of the notice to the corporation, association or partnership.

      5.  The articles or bylaws may require that the notice be also published in one or more newspapers.

      6.  Notice duly delivered or mailed to a delegate or member in accordance with the provisions of this section and the provisions, if any, of the articles or bylaws is sufficient, and in the event of the transfer of a membership after the delivery or mailing and before the holding of the meeting it is not necessary to deliver or mail notice of the meeting to the transferee.

      7.  Any delegate or member may waive notice of any meeting by a writing signed by the delegate or member, or his or her duly authorized attorney, either before or after the meeting.

      8.  Unless otherwise provided in the articles or bylaws, whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of this chapter or the articles or bylaws of any corporation, to any member to whom notice of two consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of the taking of action by written consent without a meeting to the member during the period between those two consecutive annual meetings, have been mailed addressed to the member at his or her address as shown on the records of the corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of further notices to the member is not required. Any action or meeting taken or held without notice to that person has the same force and effect as if the notice had been given. If any such person delivers to the corporation a written notice setting forth his or her current address, the requirement that notice be given to the person is reinstated. If the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any of the other sections of this title, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to this subsection.

      9.  Any notice to members or delegates given by the corporation pursuant to any provision of this chapter, chapter 92A of NRS, the articles of incorporation or the bylaws is effective if given in the same manner that a corporation is required to give notice to its stockholders pursuant to NRS 78.370.
