When the board of directors or owners of a corporation need to discuss significant business matters—such as new strategies, projects, joint ventures, and the election of board members—they hold annual meetings. These meetings typically include the CEO, existing board members, partners, and shareholders, who collectively deliberate on key issues. To ensure shareholder attendance, the meeting secretary is responsible for sending formal notices that provide details about the meeting, including the time, date, location, and agenda.
While managers and directors oversee and operate a company, shareholders and stockholders play an equally vital role, comparable to that of the general manager and CEO. Therefore, when the board of directors convenes an annual meeting to elect new members and develop business strategies, they invite shareholders to participate and contribute their opinions. The meeting secretary is tasked with notifying shareholders about the upcoming meeting, allowing them to plan accordingly.
