Understanding the meeting minutes of your community association is essential for staying informed about the decisions and discussions that impact your neighborhood. Here's a friendly guide to help you learn about these minutes and where to find them.

Meeting minutes are the official written record of the discussions and decisions made during community association meetings. They provide a detailed account of the topics covered, motions proposed, votes taken, and actions agreed upon. Meeting minutes are important because they ensure transparency, accountability, and continuity within the association. They serve as a reference for future meetings and help keep all members informed about the Association's activities and decisions.

Please note that not every association keeps and publishes meeting minutes. If your association does, these documents can be found in your property owner account. If you need help logging into this account, check out this article.

Once in your account, to access these documents:

1. Go to "Document"

Click the "Resident" dropdown in the side menu.

‍

Once open, click the "Document" option.

This will open your association's Document area, which will contain all the association's documents, which may include governing documents, rules and regulations, financials, meeting minutes, newsletters, and more.

2. Locate the Meeting Minutes

Look for documents labeled "Meeting Minutes", "Minutes", or similar titles under the "Minutes" section of the Document area, and locate the meeting date you would like to view the minutes for.

For example, if we were looking for the minutes from our sample association's February 2024 meeting, then we'd view the document "ATA Meeting Minutes - February 2024".

Click the "View" button to open up the document.
