Document background
Association Meeting Minutes are essential documents required under Swiss law to record the formal proceedings of association meetings. They must be maintained in accordance with the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB), particularly Articles 60-79, which govern associations. These minutes serve multiple purposes: they document decisions made during meetings, provide evidence of compliance with legal requirements and internal regulations, and create a historical record of the association's governance. The document typically includes details about attendance, voting results, discussions, and formal resolutions. It's particularly important for legal protection, organizational memory, and demonstrating proper governance to authorities and stakeholders. The minutes must be signed by the designated persons (usually the chair and minute-taker) to be considered valid under Swiss law.
