Call to Order

The call to order is the first thing that happens at a Neighborhood Council meeting. When the presiding officer announces that the meeting has started, that is the call to order.1

Because it is the first thing that happens at a neighborhood council meeting, it should be the first item on the meeting agenda.

Example agenda item:

  1. Call to Order
