While I believe you to be correct. Maybe they have some time (X amount of days) after fins to have this meeting? Do you know when it has to take place?

I Haven't looked into the legalities of it yet. Maybe someone else can.

My guess is there will be one soon timed with a news announcement.

Otherwise we seem to go backwards.

I Would love to have one after Tuskegee is announced though, to hear more about VuMe, India and Ghana. And anything else that has developed (and hopefully more to come on US soil) from the mayors conference. There are 40+ other cities...

I know I know let's get one done, but ABC's in sales... always be closing. "Coffee's for closers"Lol

No matter what you have to keep adding to the funnel.

It doesn't look like there is a specific date. Just rules for calling one regarding the days allotted for notification. I would prefer it takes place after a significant win like Tuskegee before we hold one. That's just me, a small shareholder, but a shareholder none the less.

Shareholder Meetings

A corporation must hold a shareholder meeting at least one time a year. Florida law provides that the corporation must notify the shareholders of the date, time, and place of each annual meeting no fewer than 10 days or more than 60 days before the meeting date.

The meeting notice must include the following:

Record date for shareholders entitled to vote if date is different than meeting date
Describe remote communication method, if authorized by directors
Description of the purpose for which meeting is held (for special meetings only)
Distribution via written communication unless oral communication is authorized
The corporation must document the meeting using meeting minutes. A secretary, minute taker, or another authorized third-party for the corporation is responsible for recording the minutes.

Necessities of Annual Minutes and Reports

It is important to record annual meeting minutes through a record keeping process. Florida law requires the corporation keep the minutes with the corporation’s permanent records in electronic or written format. It is important to note that the State of Florida does not require corporations to file meeting minutes with any agency of the State of Florida.

The items contained in the meeting minutes include the following:

The name of the corporation
The date and time of the meeting
The name and title of the person who called the meeting to order
The names of shareholders present at the meeting
Walk through of the agenda (discussions taking place in the meeting)
Votes or topics and outcome of each
The time the meeting adjourns
Signatures
If the meeting is the annual meeting, the corporation must release financial statements or some form of annual report to the shareholders. Because annual shareholder meetings are often complex and involve many details, it is best to have an attorney assist with the annual meetings and minutes. Even small companies with
