How many members constitute a quorum necessary for the Board to meet?

In Tennessee, the laws governing the Board related to funeral services specify that a quorum must be established for the Board to conduct its official business. A quorum is typically defined as the minimum number of members required to be present at a meeting to make the proceedings of that meeting valid.

For the Board in question, the requirement is that at least four members must be present to constitute a quorum. This means that, without four members present, the Board cannot make decisions or take official actions. Ensuring that such a quorum is met is crucial for the legitimacy of the Board's work, maintaining accountability, and enabling effective governance within the confines of Tennessee's funeral service regulations.

This requirement is in place to guarantee that decisions are made by a sufficient number of representatives, reflecting a broader consensus rather than the opinions of a minimal number of members.
