Newteach201 Posted December 4, 2023 at 12:47 AM Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 at 12:47 AM Hi! We have draft minutes from a board meeting. We had advice from our lawyer and a statement was made. The vice president wants to change the statement because the secretary rejected the amendment. What happens now?

Joshua Katz Posted December 4, 2023 at 12:55 AM Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 at 12:55 AM Minutes are a reflection of what was done, not what was said. Most likely, this "statement" does not belong in the minutes. And if it does belong in the minutes, the minutes should not be falsified by changing it. Regardless, draft minutes can be amended when they are pending for approval by a majority vote. If they have been approved, it requires a motion to amend something previously adopted (go figure) which requires a 2/3 vote, a majority with notice, or a majority of the entire membership voting in the affirmative. (The last is not usually very large in a board.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did the secretary “reject” the amendment and what was this amendment? Please explain that. I don’t understand how a secretary can “reject” something.
