What Is a Board Resolution?
A Board Resolution is a document that represents a decision made by the board of directors of a corporation at their regular meeting. It can also serve as a corporate action, which is legally binding as a decision taken at a duly convened meeting. For a corporate action, if it is allowed by state law, the board of directors can use a written document to waive an official notice of a meeting and unanimously agree to a resolution.
Alternate Name:
- Board of Directors Resolution.
A Board of Directors Resolution contains information about the meeting of the board directors, decisions made during this meeting, and actions required to implement it. Shareholders of the company can also complete a Board Resolution. For example, they can declare the number of dividends on the issued shares of the corporation. Resolutions should be recorded in a corporate records book. These documents have to be available to any member of the board of directors who wishes to find out about the decisions made on their behalf.
