About this document
Incorporators are the people who sign and file a corporation's articles. At their organizational meeting they commonly appoint the first directors and hand the corporation over to them.
This blank form is the minutes of that meeting. It is shorter than the board's own minutes and finishes with the incorporators resigning or continuing to act.

About the incorporators' organizational meeting
It depends on how the corporation is formed and the state. If the articles name the directors, this step may not apply.
