# Legislative Meetings (mandatory) The Legislative Meeting (LM) is hosted by oikos International twice a year (April & October). It is a space where important decisions are taken that have an influence on oikos International as the umbrella organization of oikos, as well as on the community at large. With our legal form as a Swiss association, it is necessary that our members (aka FULL chapters) democratically take certain decisions within the LMs. Each full chapter can send one representative to vote on behalf of their chapter, though any oikee is welcome to join the meetings (though without voting).\ Furthermore, Legislative Meetinga are a space to connect with other chapters and receive important updates you can take back to your chapter. **You will always receive the latest information about the upcoming LM in your oikos chapter inbox, so make sure to check it regulalry!** Depending on our possibilities, the meetings happen onsite (hybrid) or fully online. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
