This sample should be customized to suit your particular unit. Note that board meeting minutes are very important. Minutes are considered legal documents by auditors, the IRS and courts, and they represent the actions of the board. Many assert that if it's not in the minutes, it didn't happen.\nThere is no standardized level of content and format for board minutes. However, sufficient information should be included to describe how board members reasonably came to reasonable decisions.\nInclude the name of the organization, date and time of meeting, who called it to order, who attended and if there a quorum, all motions made, any conflicts of interest or abstentions from voting, when the meeting ended and who developed the minutes.\nThe secretary of the board usually takes minutes during meetings. Written minutes are distributed to board members before each meeting for member's review. Minutes for the previous meeting should be reviewed right away in the next meeting. Minutes should be permanently retained in a manual and shared with all board members.\nApart from the legal obligation to take minutes, accurate and concise minutes serve other functions:\nServe as a reminder of decisions, assignments and deadlines.\nSummarize the meeting for people who were unable to attend.\nCreate a history of the organization, telling what was done, when and by whom.\nProvide evidence in a financial or performance audit.\nOffer evidence in the event of a lawsuit.\nWhat to Leave Out\nThe minutes are a factual record of business. Do not include:\nOpinions or judgments: Leave out statements like “a well done report” or “a heated discussion.”\nCriticism or accolades: Criticism of members should not be included unless it takes the form of an official motion. Thanks or expressions of appreciations should only be included if there was a clear consensus of meeting participants.\nDiscussion: If the organization has opted to include discussion summaries do not personalize it by recording the views of individuals.\nExtended rehashing of reports: Just hit the highlights of key facts, particularly if a written report is attached.\nSAMPLE MINUTES\nBoard of Directors Meeting\nACBL Unit No. 000\nJuly 8, 2006\nSenior Center, Anytown, Anystate\nPresident Smith called the regular Unit Board of Directors meeting to order at 7:05 PM at the Senior Center in Anytown, Anystate.
