Institutional memory captures decisions, priorities, and risks from your meetings so the board retains context between sessions.
How Entries Are Created
After meetings close, the secretary extracts memory entries from the deliberation. They appear on the Memory page for your review.
Reviewing Entries
For each entry you can:
- Approve — carry it forward into future meetings
- Dismiss — remove it without dispute
- Dispute — flag as inaccurate for correction
- Delete — remove any entry you no longer want kept
Searching
Use the search bar on the Memory page to find entries by keyword.
Why It Matters
Approved memory gives directors continuity. Without it, each meeting starts from scratch. With it, the board builds on prior decisions and tracks evolving priorities and risks.
Best Practices
- Review memory after every meeting
- Approve accurate entries promptly
- Dispute or delete anything incorrect — bad memory leads to bad advice
- Periodically search memory before major decisions to check for relevant prior deliberation
