Your corporation must have a written record of all important board decisions -- failure to do so can have serious consequences. Use this form to record the decisions reached by directors at any directors’ meeting.

Important to Know:

• Do not use these minutes if this meeting is being conducted by telephone -- instead, turn to The Corporate Records Handbook for the proper forms.
• A valid meeting cannot be held without a quorum. A quorum is the minimum number of directors who must be present to hold a valid directors meeting and take action.
• These are streamlined minutes to meet the minimum needs of a corporation with just a few directors and shareholders. Corporations wishing to take unusual or highly specialized actions should consult The Corporate Records Handbook.

Operating system: Windows- and Macintosh-compatible. The computer you use to purchase an eForm must be the same computer you will download it to. (For example, don't purchase the eForm using your computer at work if you intend to download it later on to your home computer; instead, wait until you're on the computer you intend to download the eForm to and then make your purchase. After you've downloaded the file, you will be able to "transfer" it to another computer by copying it to external media or by email.) In addition, you will not be able to download this file if:

• cookies are disabled on your computer, or
• a firewall prevents you from downloading files from the Internet.

Software: Before you can use an eForm, additional software must be installed:
To expand the ZIP archive you download after making your purchase, you'll need:

• A decompression utility such as the following, both of which can be downloaded for free:

• 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org) (for Windows users).
• StuffIt Expander (http://my.smithmicro.com/mac/stuffit/expander.html) (for Macintosh). Please note: Many recently manufactured Macs have a native capability to decompress zip files. See your computer's user manual for verification of this and instructions for access.

To open, fill out and print an eForm, you need a word processor that "reads" RTF (rich text format) files:

• Windows XP & Vista both come with WordPad, an RTF-compatible word processor.
• Macintosh OS X comes with TextEdit, an RTF-compatible word processor; non-OS X users need Word 5.0 or greater, WordPerfect 2.1 or greater, or another RTF-compatible word processor.
