minutes. n. 1) the written record of meetings, particularly of Boards of Directors and/or Shareholders of corporations, kept by the secretary of the corporation or organization.
That said, the minutes are still one of the important working documents for any club or association. For a normal or general meeting, (as opposed to an annual general meeting or special general meeting â see below) the minutes should be out within a week of the meeting, ideally within 48 hours. Because many volunteers take the minutes longhand, it often takes them a long time to have the minutes ready for distribution.
