The Secretary takes minutes at each monthly meeting, distributing them to the Executive Council before the next meeting (and soliciting changes) and making any changes that come in.
The Secretary is obligated to attend almost all meetings. When they can’t attend, they should notify the President in advance to allow a note-taker to be found at the beginning of the meeting.
A new Secretary should model the Minutes on those of the previous Secretary. Minutes are light on details. Hence, reports on Grievances or details of Bargaining are summarized as simply having happened.
