SAMPLE BOARD MEETING MINUTES
Page1of2
I go to a lot of board meetings. As a result, I’ve reviewed a lot of board meeting minutes. In general, the
philosophy among most companies is to keep the board minutes “light.” They should cover the substance
of the meeting and have any specific votes, option grants, or board level issues documented, but they
should not contain extensive details about the presentations giving in the board meeting.
Following is a template for a sample set of board meeting minutes.
