Associations uses proxies to achieve quorum requirements

Associations often have difficulty obtaining a quorum for member meetings. A quorum is a number of members who must be present at the meeting in order to conduct business. Usually, the bylaws to the association will provide the quorum number, expressed as a percentage or a fraction of the total number of members. One way to increase the likelihood of achieving a quorum is by proxy use. Proxy is a piece of paper signed by a member that given to another person (the proxy holder) so that the proxy holder can attend the meeting in place of the member.
