Length of Chapter Meeting

[psusue]

If our chapter didn't meet we called it electronic chapter and the secretary emailed out the minutes (all officers and chairwomen would email her their announcements).

We averaged 1 hour but there were some chapters (i.e. formal chapter, revision of bylaws, elections) that we all knew would probably go longer. But we also had a clause in our bylaws that after any motion was made that discussion could last only 5 minutes (monitored by our parliamentarian) and then after 5 minutes we would have to vote to extend the time or just vote on whatever it was. That helped us speed up our meetings considerably.
