Which of the following statements correctly identifies who can call a committee meeting?

• A. The committee chair
• B. The committee chair or any two of a committee's members may call a meeting
• C. Any member of the committee
• D. The president

Answer: (B)

The core rule here is that a committee meeting can be called either by the committee chair or by two members of the committee. This setup gives the chair the authority to lead and summon meetings, while also ensuring the group can act if the chair is unavailable or if urgent business needs attention—two members can initiate a meeting to keep the work moving forward.

This dual mechanism prevents meetings from being blocked by a single person and reflects a balance between leadership and member support. Relying on only the chair would be too restrictive if the chair can’t or won’t call a meeting, and letting any one member call a meeting would bypass the needed group legitimacy. The president isn’t typically the designated caller for a committee’s meetings unless the bylaws say so, so that option doesn’t fit the standard rule.
