Club Minutes are essential documents in Dutch organizational governance, required by law for associations (verenigingen) operating under Dutch jurisdiction. These minutes serve as the official record of meetings, capturing decisions, discussions, and voting outcomes. When drafting Club Minutes, organizations must ensure compliance with Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, which sets out requirements for association administration and record-keeping. The document is particularly important for legal verification of decisions, tax compliance, and historical record-keeping. It should be maintained in both Dutch and English if the organization operates internationally, though the Dutch version typically prevails legally. Club Minutes are required for all formal meetings, including board meetings, general assemblies, and extraordinary member meetings.
