How to Take Minutes with BoardSpace
The Recording Secretary (RS) is the only person who can create and edit minutes. Only one user can be the RS at a time.

For each motion, choose the directors who move and second it from the dropdowns.
If using this module, select a date and time for the next meeting, choose a meeting type, and add a title and location.
