yleiskokoukseen

Yleiskokous is a Finnish term that translates to "general meeting" or "general assembly." It refers to a formal gathering of members of an organization, association, or other group. These meetings are typically held periodically, such as annually, and are a fundamental part of democratic decision-making within such entities.

The primary purpose of a yleiskokous is to discuss and decide on important matters concerning the organization. This often includes electing board members or other officers, approving financial reports and budgets, setting membership fees, and making amendments to the organization's statutes or bylaws. Members usually have the right to speak, propose motions, and vote on resolutions. The specific rules and procedures for a yleiskokous, including notice periods, quorum requirements, and voting rights, are usually outlined in the organization's governing documents.

The outcome of a yleiskokous can significantly influence the direction and activities of an organization. It serves as a platform for accountability, transparency, and member participation, ensuring that the organization operates in accordance with the collective will of its members. The decisions made at a yleiskokous are binding on the organization and its members.
