§ 15a:5-2.
a. If the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other applicable law provides
that some or all of the trustees shall be elected by the members, the certificate
of incorporation or bylaws may provide that a meeting of the members of the corporation
shall be held at least once every 2 years. If no provision for a required meeting of members is set forth in the certificate
of incorporation or bylaws, then the meeting to elect the trustees shall be held annually. b. An annual or biennial meeting of the members shall be held at a time as may be
provided in the bylaws, or as may be fixed by the board pursuant to authority granted
in the bylaws, and, in the absence of such a provision, at noon on the first Tuesday
of April. Failure to hold the annual or biennial meeting at the designated time, or to elect
a sufficient number of trustees at that meeting or any adjournment thereof, shall
not affect otherwise valid corporate acts or work a forfeiture or dissolution of the
corporation. If the annual or biennial meeting for election of trustees is not held on the date
designated, the trustees shall cause the meeting to be held as soon thereafter as
convenient. If there is a failure to hold an annual or biennial meeting for a period of 30 days
after the date designated, or if no date has been designated for a period of 13 months
after the organization of the corporation or after its last annual meeting, or 25
months after its last biennial meeting, as the case may be, the Superior Court may,
upon the application of a member, summarily order the meeting or the election, or
both, to be held at a time and place, upon notice and for the transaction of business
as may be designated in the order. At any meeting ordered by the court called pursuant to this section, the members
present in person or by proxy and having voting powers shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of the business designated in the order.
