FAQ
One member makes the motion, a second member approves it, and the chair calls for a vote. The approval of meeting minutes goes through with a majority vote. Record the approval: The secretary notes in the current meeting minutes that the board approved minutes from the previous meeting.
State law governs if and how companies and nonprofits can conduct virtual board meetings. Of note, the state that controls your business is where you're incorporated – not where you have an office. Nearly every state explicitly authorizes virtual board meetings, and those that don't are silent on the subject.
Board meetings must provide an opportunity for the public to address the board on items of public interest within the board's jurisdiction. (Government Code section 54954.3.)
In short, yes. Non Board members can attend meetings. There are a number of reasons you might want to have this policy. Perhaps you need to invite senior staff members of your organisation.
In-camera means a part of a Board meeting without administration or other parties present for which there is no agenda, at which no minutes are taken, and from which recommendations may be moved to a Board or Committee meeting for a decision to be entered into the minutes.
Instead, board minutes, or portions of board minutes, can be privileged under US law when they capture legal advice rendered either by in-house lawyers or external lawyers or discussions of ongoing litigation. Board participants should be aware of the potential for a waiver of the privilege.
Unless the nonprofit is a governmental entity, there is no obligation to open board meetings to the public. (“Governmental entities” would include school boards, state educational organizations, such as a state university, and quasi-governmental groups such as public libraries.)
Confidentiality is included in the board's fiduciary responsibilities, which is the legal or ethical obligation to act in the best interest of another party. Maintaining confidentiality includes any personal or sensitive information they acquire during their service to the board.
“In camera” is a Latin term which, in this context, can be understood to mean an "in private" session. It involves a confidential meeting, or a portion of a meeting, taking place with only Board members present. These meetings are sometimes called "Board only" sessions.
