DUTIES OF THE SECRETARY

Unless the governing documents provide otherwise, a secretary's duties are as follows:

• oversee giving notice of board and membership meetings
• ensure that minutes of meetings are taken and approved (can use assistant)
• sign a copy of the final, approved minutes
• oversee the preparation of the membership list
• file appropriate documents with the Secretary of State
• as custodian of records, ensure that the association's records are maintained
• frequently co-signs checks with the president or treasurer

The secretary can delegate many of his/her duties to the manager, management company, or an assistant, but must oversee the work.
