Many churches [and para-church ministries] never had an Organizational Meeting. This is where the 'Incorporator' invites others to join him on the Board and the By-Lawsare adopted.This meeting is the "Birthing process" of the corporation. Without this Minute in your Book of Minutes, it could be argued that your corporation does not legally exist. In this Manual, we provide sample Minutes showing how to have a meeting today, and ratify the organizational activities of yesteryear. This is the only legal means to correct this serious omission.
