Meeting minutes are a written record of what was discussed and decided during a meeting. They typically include key points, decisions made, and action items assigned to individuals. The minutes are usually taken by our Recording Secretary and are later presented to our members for review and approval during the following general meeting. Having accurate and detailed meeting minutes is important for keeping attendees accountable and providing a historical account of decisions.
