Nowhere is this more evident than at board meetings, where board members hear reports, deliberate, and make decisions that guide organizational efforts. Meetings are the main venue where board members fulfill their fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the organization. The duty of care is a legal obligation to act diligently in service of the organization, to be informed about the issues that impact the board’s oversight of the organization, and to actively participate in discussions and decision-making. The duty of loyalty requires that when engaged in board business, members place the interests of the organization above their own personal interests.  \nBoard meeting minutes, the written record of what happens at a board meeting, serve as critical evidence of board members’ exercise of their fiduciary duties, since they describe key items presented and discussed by directors at the board meeting. They also help to show that the board considered the best interests of the organization and observed its conflict of interest policy. The decisions made and official actions taken at a board meeting are reflected in written board resolutions, which are typically incorporated into the meeting minutes and, in some cases, also kept separately for reference purposes. Meeting minutes and resolutions are important indicators to the general public, funding sources, and federal and state regulators that a CAA has maintained compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This includes the CSBG Organizational Standards, which require CAA boards to take certain actions in their organizational leadership and governance functions. Meeting  \nminutes and resolutions are also an important resource for the CAA board itself: a continuous, contemporaneous record of where the board has been, where it is, and where it is going.  \nGiven the importance of these documents, CAPLAW has created this resource to help board members and the staff who work with them create effective meeting minutes and resolutions. As discussed below, minutes and resolutions vary greatly in their degree of formality and detail. We encourage you to customize the templates we have provided to reflect the way your CAA operates, focusing on the function of each document rather than its form. Remember that meeting minutes and resolutions are just two tools in your agency’stoolbox for documenting compliance with the CSBG Organizational Standards and other applicable laws. Formal board action is not necessary for compliance with most of the Organizational Standards, but where it is, we hope this resource will be helpful.  \n© 2021 Community Action Program Legal Services, Inc. 1  \nTable of Contents  \nI.
