sammankallar

Sammankalla is a Swedish verb meaning to call together a group of people to hold a meeting, assembly, or other formal gathering. It is primarily used in administrative, corporate, municipal, and organizational contexts. The act of sammankalla is typically accompanied by issuing a kallelse (invitation) that specifies the date, time, venue, and agenda.

The present tense is sammankallar (he/she/it/they convenes). Other common forms include sammankallade (past), sammankallat (supine/perfect). The imperative is sammankalla. Passive forms include sammankallas (is convened) and har sammankallat (has convened).

Sammankallare is a noun for the person who convenes a meeting; sammankallning or sammankallelse are related nouns referring to the act or process of convening, and are used in official or formal texts.

In practice, sammankalla describes the action of deciding to hold a meeting and summoning participants, while invitations are typically issued as a kallelse. Common contexts include boards of directors, committees, associations, and government bodies. The term is often used in formal minutes, bylaws, and governance documents to delineate responsibilities for calling gatherings and setting agendas.

Examples:

Styrelsen sammankallar årsstämman.

Företaget skickade ut en kallelse inför styrelsemötet.

Hon är sammankallare för arbetsgruppen.
