How many business days in advance should members be informed about meetings?

Members should be informed about meetings at least 5 business days in advance to ensure adequate notice and preparation time. This timeframe allows participants to arrange their schedules accordingly, make necessary preparations, and communicate if they have any conflicts or need to address specific agenda items. Informing members too close to the meeting date can lead to lower attendance and insufficient engagement, which may hinder the effectiveness of the meeting and the decision-making process. The 5-business-day advance notice strikes a balance between timely communication and allowing members enough time to plan effectively.
