Create Meeting Minutes

Meeting Minutes: What Is It?

Meeting minutes are the notes and documentation taken during a professional or corporate meeting. These minutes must be recorded by a company secretary in order to have a document on file with the corporation. This will ensure the company has an accurate record of past meetings. Meeting minute documents should be kept regardless of whether the meetings are private or public.

The company secretary will need to include information about the date and time of the meeting, the location, the attendees, and the nature of the meeting. For private meetings, less information can be included. For public meetings, more detailed information should be included, such as topics discussed, dialogue, and outcome.

A company should keep all of their meeting minutes documented for as long as the business is in operation. This will be especially necessary of companies who have government funding or a non-profit status.
