Board resolution

A blank resolution: the numbered record of one decision a board made, in the form a bank, an insurer, an attorney or the next board will accept. Recitals say why, the resolved clauses say what, and the record underneath says who moved it and how the vote went.

BEFORE YOU RELY ON THIS

A resolution records what the board decided under the authority it already has. It does not amend your bylaws or your declaration. Amending those follows the procedure written in the documents themselves, and usually a vote of the members.

Our reading, to support your review, not legal advice. Confirm with your attorney before the board acts.
