Alaska commonly permits corporations, associations, and nonprofits to conduct remote and virtual meetings. Remote meetings contingent on an association’s articles of incorporation, charter, or bylaws. If governing documents are silent, remote and virtual meetings are allowed. The Alaska Nonprofit Corporation Act governs nonprofit corporations regarding corporate structure and procedure. If an association is organized as a nonprofit, as is the case with most Alaska associations, it will be governed by the Nonprofit Corporations Act. Contact your association’s attorney to see what your community’s options are for virtual meetings based upon your governing documents.

Special meetings of the board of directors shall be held after the notice which shall be prescribed in the bylaws. Attendance of a director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. The business to be transacted or the purpose of a regular or special meeting of the board of directors need not be specified in the notice of the meeting unless required by the bylaws.
