Board of Directors Resolutions are formal documents that outline and record the official decisions of the board of directors. They are therefore binding on the organization. As part of a company’s verification process, they may be requested by its shareholders or government officials.
Board resolutions are usually drafted during board meetings. They require a majority vote of the board. They could be ad hoc documents that the board is able to vote on and approves in the absence of an official meeting. There are numerous kinds of resolutions. They include motions to abstain from notification, minutes and adjournment.
In a board meeting the board will debate the proposed resolution to determine if any additional details or information are required. A member of the board will then move to adopt the proposed resolution and a seconder vote to second it. The board will then vote on the motion based on the procedure described in the bylaws of the organization. The votes are recorded in the minutes of board meetings by the corporate secretary. The resolution is then signed by the appropriate officers.
