(a) Regular meetings.--The bylaws of a nonprofit corporation may provide for the number and the time of meetings of members, but unless otherwise provided in a bylaw adopted by the members at least one meeting of the members of a corporation that has members, as such, entitled to vote, shall be held in each calendar year for the election of directors at the time provided in or fixed pursuant to authority granted by the bylaws. Failure to hold the annual or other regular meeting at the designated time shall not work a dissolution of the corporation or affect otherwise valid corporate acts. If the annual or other regular meeting is not called and held within six months after the designated time, any member may call the meeting at any time thereafter.
(b) Special meetings.--Special meetings of the members may be called at any time by:
(1) the board of directors;
(2) members entitled to cast at least 10% of the votes that all members are entitled to cast at the particular meeting; or
(3) other officers or persons as may be provided in the bylaws.
At any time, upon written request of any person who has called a special meeting, it shall be the duty of the secretary to fix the time of the meeting which, if the meeting is called pursuant to a statutory right, shall be held not more than 60 days after the receipt of the request. If the secretary neglects or refuses to fix the time of the meeting, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so.
(c) Adjournments.--Adjournments of any regular or special meeting may be taken but any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall be adjourned only from day to day, or for longer periods not exceeding 15 days each, as the members present and entitled to vote shall direct, until the directors have been elected.
(d) Cross reference.--See section 6145 (relating to applicability of certain safeguards to foreign domiciliary corporations).
