Meeting minutes are more than just a formal record of board
meetings; they are essential for maintaining transparency, ensuring
compliance with condominium laws, and protecting the board against
potential legal disputes. To help board members and property
managers fulfill this responsibility, here are ten best practices
for creating accurate, concise, and legally sound meeting
minutes.
1. Include the Basics
Each set of minutes should record the foundational details:
- Time, date, and location of the meeting.
- The call to order.
- Whether quorum was achieved.
- Time of adjournment.
2. List Attendees
Document everyone present, including:
- Full names and roles of board members (e.g., President-Chair,
Treasurer).
