Under impeachment proceedings, what triggers a separate meeting open to all members?

• A. If a single member initiates
• B. Only after a year of investigation
• C. If majority of the executive board involved
• D. If the accused requests

Answer: (C)

Impeachment actions are handled with attention to fairness and broad accountability. When the executive board as a group holds a majority stake in the matter, it signals that the issue is of wide significance to the chapter. In that case, a separate meeting that is open to all members is convened to ensure transparency, allow full discussion, and give the membership a meaningful opportunity to participate in the process. This broad-involvement step helps protect due process and legitimacy of the proceedings.

The other scenarios don’t align with this principle. A single member initiating the process doesn’t automatically warrant an open, all-member meeting, nor does simply waiting a long period or the accused requesting it create the same level of collective oversight and public accountability.
