Nonprofits have basic corporate responsibilities they must take seriously—or risk the unwanted attention of U.S. corporate tax authorities. Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records provides everything a nonprofit's leaders require to hold meetings and properly document actions taken by the board and members. The book includes resolutions for use in:

• calling, giving notice of, and holding meetings of directors and members
• appointing officers and electing directors
• taking action by written consent
• setting up a corporate records book, and more.

Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records also provides useful tips and advice on handling important tasks, such as organizing records, preparing meeting folders, and taking minutes—everything needed to create a paper trail and avoid legal trouble.
