Minutes are more than just a convenient record of what was discussed at the last meeting—they are legal documents. Courts will hold directors to certain standards of reasonableness, so it is important that enough information is provided in the minutes to indicate that the board came to its decisions reasonably. The secretary of the board is usually responsible for taking minutes during meetings. Minutes from the previous meeting should be approved at the next meeting, and copies should be filed and kept with the governing documents.
