Board of Directors Resolutions (or Board of Directors Resolutions) are formal documents that describe and document official decisions taken by a board of directors. As such, they are legally binding on the company. They could be requested by company’s shareholders, or by government officials as part of a verification process.
Board resolutions are usually adopted at board meetings. They must be ratified by a majority vote of the board. They can be ad-hoc or ad-hoc documents that the board is able to vote on and approves in the absence of the formal meeting. There are a variety of resolutions. These include motions to waive notification, minutes and adjournment.
During a meeting the board will be discussing the proposed resolution in order to determine if any additional details or information are required. A member of the board will vote to approve the proposed resolution and a seconder support it. Once the motion has been seconded, the board will vote on the resolution according to a process that is outlined in the bylaws of the organization. The votes are recorded in the minutes of board meetings by the corporate secretary. The resolution is signed by the appropriate officers.
