Form with which the board of directors of a corporation records the contents of its first meeting.
This document needs to be signed by: or another person who is authorized to take minutes and/or record official corporate action. There is no requirement that the signature be witnessed or notarized.
Robert's Rules (Section -16) state that “the minutes should contain mainly a record of what was done at the meeting, not what was said by the members.” Minutes are not transcripts of meetings; rather, the document contains a record of actions taken by the body, organized by the meeting's order of business (agenda).
Ideally, minutes should be circulated to board members for review and approval within a reasonable timeframe, such as before the next scheduled meeting. Some boards choose to distribute their finalized board meeting minutes via email or hard copy.
Board meeting minutes should be prepared and distributed in a timely manner after each board meeting. Ideally, minutes should be circulated to board members for review and approval within a reasonable timeframe, such as before the next scheduled meeting.
Typically, meeting minutes should be distributed within a few days after the meeting. The method by which meeting minutes are shared depends on your company's procedures. Typically, one or more of the following document-sharing methods is used: Sending a physical copy of the meeting minutes in the mail.
Circulate minutes to directors 48 to 72 hours after the meeting. Minutes should be carefully reviewed by directors before being approved. Minutes may identify any directors who do not support a motion (dissent).
A record of every sickness instance should be made, to include the date of notification of absence, the reason for it by reference to the standard definitions as per the Sickness Absence Record form (on the right-hand side of the page) and later, the date the employee returned to work.
The minutes are a factual record of business. Do not include: Opinions or judgments: Leave out statements like "a well done report" or "a heated discussion." Criticism or accolades: Criticism of members, good or bad, should not be included unless it takes the form of an official motion.
Next, you'll want to include a list of everyone who was present at your meeting. Minutes for a meeting should have the name of every attendee present. This identifies everyone who's working on or involved with a given project or topic, as well as noting down which employees are informed about what.
Some groups prefer to use Absent and/or Regrets Regrets imply the person told the organizer (probably you) before the meeting that they wouldn't be attending. Absent implies they just didn't show up. You can choose whatever word you like (I default to Regrets even if they didn't tell me in advance) for your minutes.
