A meeting doesn't end when you go you log off of Zoom or leave the conference room. It ends when you send the meeting notes. Whether you call them meeting notes or meeting minutes (there is a difference, but it's small!), documenting what you talked about is an essential part of conducting effective meetings.
Robert's Rules (Section -16) state that “the minutes should contain mainly a record of what was done at the meeting, not what was said by the members.” Minutes are not transcripts of meetings; rather, the document contains a record of actions taken by the body, organized by the meeting's order of business (agenda).
The minutes should follow the order of the agenda, with a basic, almost vague, summary sentence or two for each item, along with the name of the person who presented it. Votes taken should appear in their place of order in the agenda. Generally, don't include names.
Information captured in an LLC's annual meeting minutes usually includes: The meeting's date, time, and location. Who wrote the minutes. The names of the members in attendance. Brief description of the meeting agenda. Details about what the members discussed. Decisions made or voting actions taken.
Typically, meeting minutes should be distributed within a few days after the meeting. The method by which meeting minutes are shared depends on your company's procedures. Typically, one or more of the following document-sharing methods is used: Sending a physical copy of the meeting minutes in the mail.
To take effective meeting minutes, the secretary should include: Date of the meeting. Time the meeting was called to order. Names of the meeting participants and absentees. Corrections and amendments to previous meeting minutes. Additions to the current agenda. Whether a quorum is present. Motions taken or rejected.
