RESOLUTIONS

A Proposition put before a meeting of stockholders (shareholders)


or the directors of a firm for discussion, approval or adoption is
known as a resolution.

A resolution is a formal decision taken at a meeting by means of a


vote.

A resolution is also a formal authorization or expression of an


action, decision, intention, opinion, transaction, etc.
In Wesleyan University, we have Board of Trustees. In other schools and
institutions, they have Board of Directors.

A Board of Directors resolution is often used to facilitate and document


decisions that need to be made during the course of the year.

The purpose of a Board Resolution is to address a specific issue that the


board needs to decide on. The formal decision is documented on a Board
Resolution or a Board of Directors Resolution.

This can be anything from a logo redesign to switching janitorial services


agency, to hiring employees related only to the third degree of
consanguinity. Most corporate bylaws specify that decisions need to be
unanimously made by the directors by a board resolution.

MINUTES OF A MEETING
Definition:
• Minutes, also known as protocols or, informally, notes, are the
instant written record of a meeting or hearing. They typically
describe the events of the meeting and may include a list of
attendees, a statement of the issues considered by the participants,
and related responses or decisions for the issues.

• Minutes are a tangible record of the meeting for its participants and
a source of information for members who were unable to attend. In
some cases, meeting minutes can act as a reference point.
Etymology:
• The "minutes" of "meeting minutes" do not refer to the minute
measurement of time, but to the "minute" (meaning small or little)
notes taken during meetings.
Purpose:
Meeting Minutes are important to capture the essence of the
meeting, including details such as:

 decisions made (motions made, votes, etc.)


 next steps planned
 identification and tracking of action items
5 Steps Involved in Meeting Minutes
1. Pre-planning meeting minutes

A well-planned meeting helps ensure effective meeting minutes. If


the Chair and the Secretary or minutes-taker work together to ensure
the agenda and meeting are well thought out, it makes minute taking
much easier.
2. Record-taking at the Meeting

Meeting minutes usually include the following:


a. Date and Time of the Meeting
b. Names of the meeting participants and those unable to
attend
c. Acceptance or corrections/amendments to previous meeting
minutes
d. Decisions made about each agenda item
Examples of Decisions made in each agenda:
Actions taken or agreed to be taken
Next steps
Voting outcomes – e.g., (if necessary, details regarding who made
motions; who seconded and approved or via show of hands, etc.)
Motions taken or rejected
Items to be held over
New business
Next meeting date and time
3. The Minutes Writing Process
Once the meeting is over, it is time to pull together your notes and
write the minutes.
Here are some tips to help you:
Try to write the minutes as soon after the meeting as possible while
everything is fresh in your mind.
Review your outline and if necessary, add additional notes or clarify
points raised. Also check to ensure all decisions, actions and
motions are clearly noted.
Check for sufficient detail.
Edit to ensure brevity and clarity, so the minutes are easy to read.
Be objective.

Write in the same tense throughout.

Avoid using people’s names except for motions or seconds. This is a


business document, not about who said what.

Avoid inflammatory or personal observations. The fewer adjectives or


adverbs you use, the better.

If you need to refer to other documents, attach them in an appendix or


indicate where they may be found. Don’t rewrite their intent or try to
summarize them.
4. Distributing or Sharing Meeting Minutes

As the official “minutes-taker” or Secretary, your role may include


dissemination of the minutes. However, before you share these, be
sure that the Chair has reviewed and either revised and/or approved
the minutes for circulation.
5. Filing/Storage of Meeting Minutes

 The committee or board usually review and either approve or


amend the minutes at the beginning of the subsequent meeting.
 Once the required revisions are made, the minutes will then need to
be stored for future reference. (Some organizations may store these
online and also back these up on an external hard drive).
 The minutes-taker also needs to print and store hard copies as well
or provide these to a staff member or Chair for filing.
Tips that might help your note taking:
1. Create an outline.
2. Check-off attendees as they enter the room .
3. Record decisions or notes on action items in your outline as soon
as they occur to be sure they are recorded accurately.
4. Ask for clarification if necessary. For example, if the group moves
on without making a decision or an obvious conclusion, ask for
clarification of the decision and/or next steps involved.
5. Don’t try to capture it all.
6. Record it.
