FAQs
Board Meeting Minutes—Frequently Asked Questions
What are meeting minutes — and why are they critical for nonprofit boards?
Meeting minutes serve as the official, written record of a board’s decisions, discussions, and actions. They establish that meetings occurred, document motions and resolutions, and help satisfy legal, audit, and compliance needs. Good minutes also support transparency and institutional memory—especially valuable when board membership or leadership changes.
How do I create minutes using Minutes Maker?
From the meeting page in Boardable: click the Minutes tab, choose “Start Minutes” and pick your starting point (Agenda, Blank, or AI-Generated), use the editor to add entries as needed, click Finish to allow collaborative editing, then Publish when ready.
Can Minutes be edited after publishing?
Yes. Once published, minutes can still be edited (e.g., update sections, formatting, adjust entries). However, you can only “unpublish” by editing — you can’t revert to draft mode.
Can I link tasks or action items to specific meeting decisions?
Yes. After recording decisions and motions, you can assign tasks directly in Minutes Maker with owners, due dates, and visibility settings. This ensures follow-through and connects action items directly to governance decisions.
Can Boardable generate minutes automatically from meetings?
For organizations using Boardable Video with AI enabled, yes, minutes can be generated automatically from meeting transcripts. Additionally, for non-Boardable Video meetings, you can upload transcripts that create meeting minutes. Then you can review, edit, and publish them—saving time while preserving accuracy.
