How to use this template, step by step
- 1
Build the note from the agenda
Enter the agenda items in order before the meeting. The finished note then follows the official running order of the board.
- 2
Record attendance and quorum
Confirm who is present, who sent apologies and whether the meeting is quorate before business begins, and make sure it is captured.
- 3
Check resolutions word for word
Review every resolution and vote carefully after the meeting. Wording here has legal weight, so correct anything unclear before approval.
- 4
Circulate a draft for review
Send the draft note to the chair for review before wider circulation, following your normal governance process.
- 5
Approve and file formally
Once approved at the next meeting, file the note with your company records alongside previous board minutes.
