What is the status of the official business that can be transacted when only some members of the Board are present?

Full business can be transacted
No official business can be transacted
Emergency measures can be taken
Only discussion can occur

The correct answer is: No official business can be transacted

In many organizational contexts, including boards governing funeral practices in North Carolina, official business often requires a quorum to be present. A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to conduct significant business and make decisions binding on the organization. When only some members are present and a quorum is not met, the board cannot legally make formal decisions or take actions that require a vote. This ensures that all proper stakeholders have a chance to engage in the decision-making process and helps prevent a small, non-representative group from making decisions on behalf of the entire board. In contrast, while some discussions may occur without a quorum, these deliberations do not have the legally binding authority that official board meetings require. Therefore, the absence of a quorum means no official business can be transacted. This understanding is essential for maintaining the integrity and legality of board operations.
