In the typical order of business, which item comes after roll/attendance?

• A. Minutes approval
• B. Old business
• C. New business
• D. Announcements

Answer: (A)

After roll/attendance, the meeting typically moves to approving the minutes from the previous meeting. The minutes are the formal record of what happened, including decisions, actions, and votes. Approving them confirms the record is accurate and allows any corrections to be addressed before continuing. This step provides a stable, shared foundation for everything that follows, so everyone is on the same page about what was decided before new topics or business are discussed. In the standard flow, old business, new business, and announcements come later, with the minutes approval serving as the first official action once attendance is established.
