What Should You Include When Writing Meeting Minutes? Title and Type of Meeting: Whether it's a board meeting, a team meeting, or any other type, note it down along with a clear title. Date and Time: The exact date and time when the meeting was held. Meeting Location: Where the meeting was held.

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).
Special board meetings may be called by the chair of the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary, or any two directors.
