Question 19

Brought to you by MedLawPlus.com®--
Corporate Bylaws and initial board of directors resolution Price: $14.99 (free trial)

Question: Our corporation wants to sign a long-term lease for office equipment. The vendor wants to see minutes from a board of directors meeting authorizing the purchase. Can you point me to a form for this?

Response: I'll do one better Ralph. Here is a form below that you can use for this purpose. All states, to my knowledge, have provisions in the their corporate code that allow the a director to waive the requirement of receiving notice of a special meeting of the board of directors. See 805 ILCS 5/8.25, IL Corporate Code for director waiver of notice. In fact, the meeting can be despenced with and board action itself can be taken via unanimous consent. See 805 ILCS 5/8.45. One caveat: check your corporation's articles or incorporation and bylaws to make sure that informal action of the board of directors by unanimous consent is not prohibited.

This form, to be signed by all directors, waives notice and constitutes action of the board that carries the same force and effect as if the board had conducted a formal meeting therein approving of the motion recited in the document.
