How to Post Meeting Minutes & Notices
To comply with the Wisconsin Open Meeting and Records Law, chairs of academic units and governance committees need to post notice of all meetings at least 24 hours prior to the start of the meeting. Exceptions can be made in urgent cases with notice up to two hours prior to the start of the meeting. To post your meeting, do the following:
- Post notice on http://calendar.uwgb.edu/. Someone in every office area has been designated to post meetings. As the chair, you should coordinate with this person to arrange postings. Please give them the name of your committee and indicate that the Event Type must be Governance-Open Meeting in order to ensure that the posting is properly captured.
- For directions for posting to the Master Calendar, see Campus Calendar Information.
- To submit a meeting to the calendar, use the submission form.
- Send an agenda of the meeting to sofas@uwgb.edu that clearly indicates the date, time and place of the meeting so that this notice will arrive at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting.
- Take summary minutes of your meeting and send both a draft copy and the approved version (clearly indicating the date of approval) to the SOFAS Office for submission to the official file kept on each unit and committee. These files are the official record of your unit or committee activities and are deemed open records in compliance with the Open Records Law.
If you think you may need a closed session at a meeting, please email our office so we may review the specifics of calling a closed meeting and discuss when this process is allowable by law. Also note that the law does not allow using email to conduct committee business that would typically be handled at a meeting.
