Miami, FL asked in Consumer Law, Business Formation and Business Law for Florida

Q: I opened a non profit organization in Florida in 2015 and since have no recorded meeting minutes, how can this be fixed?

We had phone conversations with the board members, but not an official meeting since 2015, how can we resolve this issue its 2017? 1. Is it by having an official meeting and then ratifying all meeting into one? or 2. Is it by having an official meeting and that's all? Articles of incorporation have been filled with the state, and By laws have been signed.

A: A meeting should be properly noticed and held now. If the board made any decisions during the conference call, it should ratify those decisions. Likewise, any other significant actions of the corporation should be announced and ratified.
