Guest John T Posted May 14, 2021 at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 at 04:03 PM Is it acceptable to have the board of directors of a not-for-profit select a committee to review and approve the minutes of an annual meeting so as to not wait a year to have minutes approved?

Joshua Katz Posted May 14, 2021 at 04:18 PM Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 at 04:18 PM Such a committee could (and should) provided for in the bylaws, or else the annual meeting body could appoint such a committee. Absent authorization from one or the other, the board cannot on its own select such a committee. But, of course, the body could direct the board to appoint such a committee. Note that this answer is based on RONR, and so is not related to your description of the organization as a not-for-profit. Applicable laws could say something different.

Under RONR it is acceptable that the annual meeting select a committee to review and approve the minutes of the annual meeting. I am not sure of the board of directors can select such a committee. It depends on what your bylaws say about the board which power it has and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted May 15, 2021 at 11:05 AM Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 at 11:05 AM The board does not have the authority to approve the minutes of the annual general membership meeting or to appoint a committee to do so unless your bylaws give it that power. However, the membership itself, at the annual meeting, can (and should) authorize the board or a committee to approve the minutes of the annual meeting.
