Our free template for first meeting minutes has been made to accommodate the differences of a sole director versus a board of directors. Enjoy our free minutes template for your corporation's first board of directors meeting.Like all our forms, this template is intended for individual use. Minutes should include the location, attendees, start and end times, and all items discussed. Record all decisions taken and resolutions that are approved. Corporate meeting minutes are a formal record of your company's important discussions and actions. They can and should be more than a formality. Even if you are the sole shareholder, you must adhere to corporate administrative requirements. This includes documenting board and shareholder meeting minutes. Include the full names of the presiding officer (chair), governance members and recording secretary in attendance.
