jäsenkokouksesta

Jäsenkokous is a Finnish term that translates to "members' meeting" or "general meeting." It refers to a formal gathering of members of an organization, such as a club, association, cooperative, or political party. The purpose of a jäsenkokous is to make important decisions regarding the organization's activities, finances, and governance.

Key functions of a jäsenkokous typically include approving the annual report and financial statements, electing board members and other officials, setting membership fees, and deciding on any changes to the organization's statutes or bylaws. It serves as the highest decision-making body within the organization, where members exercise their democratic rights.

The frequency and specific rules for convening a jäsenkokous are usually outlined in the organization's statutes. It can be either an annual meeting (vuosikokous) or an extraordinary meeting convened as needed. Members are typically notified in advance about the date, time, and agenda of the meeting. Decisions are usually made by a majority vote, although certain matters may require a qualified majority as specified in the statutes. The minutes of the jäsenkokous are recorded and kept as an official record of the organization's proceedings.
