Virtual Meeting Statute

Kansas commonly permits corporations and associations to conduct remote and virtual meetings. Kansas does not appear to have an explicit provision for nonprofits prohibiting or authorizing remote meetings. Remote meetings contingent on an association’s articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws. Contact your association’s attorney to see what your community’s options are for virtual meetings based upon your governing documents.
