Introduction
It is common practice to include proposed resolutions in materials presented to a board or committee so they can understand what is being requested from them in advance of a meeting. You can also include this information in boardcycle, in which case boardcycle will automatically add that information into the shell minutes and run sheet for that meeting.
Adding a proposed resolution to an item
To add a proposed resolution to an item:
click the edit icon
in the side panel, click on the proposed resolution box
you will then see a pop-up editor appear where you can draft the proposed resolution
when you are finished, click the x icon or click anywhere outside of the editor.
Worth knowing: where to start drafting from
boardcycle's templates all automatically include lead-in wording for your resolution as follows:
"The [forum name] resolves/resolved to:"
Start your proposed resolution from the first word after that lead-in wording.
Proposed resolutions in run sheets and shell minutes
If any text is included in the proposed resolution box, boardcycle will automatically add a resolution section into your run sheet and shell minutes and display that text there.
If no text is included in the proposed resolution box, boardcycle will not show a resolution section in those documents.
