More on documents: What they should beJan 08, 2012

Hi all...Happy New Year.

I just finished organizing board files. And, it seems to me they are rather skimpy for just over years worth of board work.

I know that our management company the last three years or so. And, we have many of those digitally. I loathe the thought of printing them out for filing. Is it OK to create digital records that can be considered official files, or does everything have to be hard copy?

Also, do e-mails count as records? Meaning, if the board has had discussions, let's say, about a legal issue or repairs, and the like, should those also be kept on file? It seems to me they serve as important background and running history.

Thanks much.

Michele
