Just a hunch that there are no minutes in existence. Did they even hold meetings? Or did GH just tell them whatever he wanted. That was definitely the vibe we picked up sitting by the chairman in LaCrosse last July. Link to post Share on other sites

Whether worthwhile topics were discussed is something that can obviously be debated, but there is no way minutes of an organization like that are not kept. I will wager a $100 donation to the Cadets that they exist. The identity of the board officers at the time, including the chairman and secretary, is recorded in the public filings. Just ask.

Every board I have been on has kept minutes on file (possibly related to the 990?). Have you looked? Keeping minutes is a standard practice of a board, but I do not believe it is a requirement. I do not believe minutes are required when submitting Form 990, and even if it is required ( I did take a quick peak at a sample 990), the minutes would not be for the public record. A person off the street cannot knock on the door of a non-profit and demand to see minutes of board meetings. If they could, lots of folks on DCP would have pounded down the doors of different corps a long time ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Board minutes are not included in the 990, nor generally available for public viewing. (However, at least in the organization where I work, the (independent) auditors, when preparing our audited financial statements each year, do ask to review the minutes of our board and finance committee.)
