Chris Harrison Posted July 31, 2011 at 06:02 PM Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 at 06:02 PM Should minutes be read at a board meeting?The minutes for a Board meeting should be read and approved at a Board meeting. There is no reason to read the minutes for a meeting of the General Membership (or any other body) unless the Board has been authorized to approve that body's minutes or some rule requires or allows them to be read.

Rev Ed Posted August 1, 2011 at 04:00 AM Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 at 04:00 AM If a draft version of the Minutes are sent out prior to a meeting, the Chairman (at the appropriate point) could simply state "Unless a member objects, we will dispense with the reading of the Minutes from the last Board meeting. (pause). Are there any corrections? (pause, corrections, if any are offered) If there are no (or no more) corrections, the Minutes are approved."If a member demands that the Minutes be read, then they must be read.

George Mervosh Posted August 5, 2011 at 08:24 PM Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 at 08:24 PM Well I was more concerned that he was bad-wrapping the Boss Lady's exclusive domain. It was nice knowing, Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted August 5, 2011 at 08:46 PM Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 at 08:46 PM Waddaya mean by "no"? Dan,Be careful what you wish for. While there are many remarks of mine that I wish people would remember, there are also a fair number that i wish they would forget. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

Guest Nancy N. Posted August 6, 2011 at 03:01 PM Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 at 03:01 PM Waddaya mean by "no"? It's "no," because what others may say often needs to be repeated for the rest of their lives and those of their progeny, what Dan says need only be said once.
