MEETING MINUTES
Keeping minutes of your meetings is like keeping a mini history of your group. Minutes let future members know what happened before, and clear up any misunderstandings about what your chapter has voted on.
You do not have to go into detail about discussions. If something is to be voted on, the minutes need to include the motion (what was proposed), that there was a discussion (or that there wasn’t), any amendments or changes to the motion, and the result of the vote.
Be sure to record attendees, chapter business presented and results of any votes conducted at the meetings. It is a good idea for the secretary to keep track of action items after the meeting and help board members follow up with those.
