Executive session means essentially a secret session, and although minutes must be kept, they continue to be confidential until the board decides that secrecy is no longer required They are not read or approved in regular session, only in executive session.
How do executive sessions work? They mostly function like a regular board meeting. The board chair leads the session ing to the agenda, and discussion follows. The critical difference is that the chair stresses—often more than once—that the discussions are strictly confidential and should not leave the table.

Motions cannot be made in executive session, motions stemming from discussion held in executive session must be recorded after coming out of executive session and should be recorded just like any other motion.
The minutes must include the name of the attendees at the meeting, the time and day of the meeting, as well as the focus and decisions made at the meeting. The minutes must record what happened at the meeting, even if nothing of importance occurred.

Under California law, you must have a quorum of at least two directors or one-fifth of all authorized directors (whichever is larger) to take valid action at a board meeting. Your organization's bylaws may set higher quorum limits, so be sure to take a look through them before proceeding.
