wildlady Posted August 12, 2011 at 03:15 AM Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 at 03:15 AM We have a committee of 5 people and had our first meeting and elected Chair and Secretary and the Secretary did not take any minutes so my question was what we discussed and elections any good or will we have to do it again? She has since turned her paper work into someone and resigned. The members are picked by elected officials. I took notes we had a motion and other things we talked about so what do we do now?

If the committee is fine with using your notes for the committee's records and to prepare any reports, RONR certainly has no problem with it.
