At the next regular meeting, what should happen regarding the minutes of the annual meeting?

The minutes of the annual meeting are a formal record of what transpired during that meeting, including decisions made and actions taken. At the following regular meeting, it is standard practice to read and approve the minutes to ensure that all members who were present have a chance to confirm their accuracy and that everyone who was not in attendance is made aware of what occurred. This step is crucial for maintaining transparency and continuity within the organization. By approving the minutes, members can also clarify any misunderstandings or discrepancies that may have arisen from the previous meeting. This procedural step fosters accountability and keeps all members informed and engaged in the organization's proceedings.
