1. Two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the State Executive Board shall be required for a quorum.

2. All meetings of the State Executive Board are open to observation by any member in good standing of the union. Meetings may be closed if the board decides by two-thirds (2/3) majority vote that it is necessary: (a) to protect the privacy of individuals; or (b) to protect the confidentiality of negotiations and/or litigation. The reason for the closed meeting shall be stated in the minutes.

3. Whenever, in the opinion of the president, a matter arises which requires the urgent attention of the State Executive Board at a time when the board is not in session, the president may contact the members of the board by letter, e-mail, fax or telephone and require them to vote on the matter. Any such action so taken by the members of the State Executive Board shall constitute action of the board as though it were in formal session, but the actions taken shall be reviewed at the next meeting of the State Executive Board and shall be part of the minutes.
