The Ralph M. Brown Act is California's open meetings law. It mandates open and transparent government meetings for local legislative bodies.We're going to talk about effective board meeting minutes and resolutions and also talk about a new tool that was developed to help your organization. Minutes should reflect the directors' deliberations and act as an accurate record of discussions and decisions on material issues. Section 30.301 - Board of Directors: Minutes (a) The secretary of a credit union shall maintain complete minutes of the board of directors' meetings. A business entity can be formed in California online at bizfileOnline.sos.ca.gov. Filing tips are included with most online forms. Minutes are the official records of the proceedings of an organization (Corp. Code § 8320) and prima facie evidence of the board's actions. The minutes of the Association Board of Directors Meeting and the AICPA Board of Directors Meetings provide information on what the Board is discussing.
