Guest Trina E. Posted May 27, 2023 at 02:44 PM Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 at 02:44 PM Hello! How should correction of minutes from previous meeting, that are read at the next meeting, be handled before approving minutes? In some meetings, members will state during the meeting that something was omitted or needs to be corrected, and the recording secretary will say, "Ok, I will make the corrections and send an updated copy of the minutes via email to the members after today's meeting." Is this the right way to do this? And how should the changes be written in the updated minutes? If this is not the correct way, please advise of the correct way to address and correct minutes prior to approval, and reference Robert's Rules of Orders. I'd like to share this with the incoming recording secretary for my organization. We want to do this the right way! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all spelled out in RONR, 12th ed, on pages 336-37, and it's a bit much to quote here. If you really want to do things the right way, get yourself a copy of this edition of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
