Attendees:
Abbie (CEO)
Kevin (CFO/CTO)
Salam (Ghana Lead)
Benjamin (Compliance and Socials)
Warihana (Senior Grant Writer)

(00:00:09) Legal Structure and Resignations
Reorganization: Kevin and Benjamin are resigning from their respective dual-board positions to eliminate conflicts of interest.
Legal Review: The Ghana legal team (Tukba and Associates) approved the inter-company agreement with minor adjustments. The team will proceed with signing the US version (v3.7).
Meeting Strategy: Two special board meetings will be held tomorrow (Feb 21) for the Colussi Family Foundation and Give Basic Needs Ghana. The meetings will not be recorded; official minutes will serve as the legal record.
Execution: The final inter-company agreements and trademark licenses will not be signed until Feb 25 to ensure a clean operational launch date.

(00:13:40) Banking Transition (GT Bank)
Account Setup: Salam will obtain a recommendation letter from the auditors (JB Mensah) to open a general Cedi account and a USD account at GT Bank.
Consolidation: The team decided against opening a separate bank account for the Health Hubs. Project funds will be managed in the general accounts and tracked strictly through ERPNext.
Signatories: To maintain strict organizational separation, Abbie and Kevin will not be on the Ghana bank accounts. The signatories will be Benjamin (Primary), Warihana (Secondary), and Salam (Tertiary).
Payroll Goal: Kevin hopes to fund the GT Bank account via wire transfer so Benjamin can run February payroll locally, phasing out crypto payments.

(00:43:09) RN Lead Hiring and Hub Communications
Hiring Launch: The RN Lead Job Description was approved by medical advisors. Warihana has prepared the Canva flyer. The job will be posted immediately so training can coincide with hub construction.
Telecom Infrastructure: Kevin proposed hosting a PBX system (3CX) on their virtual private server. This will route a central local phone number to specific hubs via VoIP, saving significant telecom fees.
User Experience: Acknowledging that rural patients may struggle with an English IVR (e.g., press 1 for Hub 1), the system will lead with local language prompts. If it proves too abstract, they will pivot to direct local numbers.

(01:10:09) Technology and ERPNext Updates
Server Migration: Kevin successfully restored backups and synchronized module versions on the new Virtual Private Server.
Next Steps: Kevin's technical priorities are fixing ERPNext Insight Reports, setting up Vault Warden (password manager), and installing the 3CX PBX software.
Benevity: Warihana is finalizing the organization's Benevity profile to increase grant visibility.

(01:24:03) ERPNext Document Signing Protocol
Clarification: The team established a strict protocol for signing digital contracts in Smiley (ERPNext).
Rule: Board minutes and meeting acknowledgments must include a start and end date so they become "inactive" after the event. Employment contracts should have no end date so they remain "active."
Workflow: The board member checks the sign box, types their name, sets the date, and clicks Save. The President then signs the company authorization box and clicks Submit.

Action Items:
Salam: Request an official approval email on letterhead from the Ghana lawyers regarding the inter-company agreement.
Salam: Obtain the auditor's letter and open the GT Bank accounts.
Kevin: Set up Vault Warden, install 3CX PBX, and fix ERPNext Insight Reports.
Kevin/Benjamin: Meet on Feb 26 to build the new company profile in ERPNext and post the job description.
Warihana: Complete the Benevity profile and prepare to start the Trademark project after Feb 25.
All: Sign the resignation and special meeting notice documents in Smiley using the proper protocol.

Individual Priorities:
Abbie: Executing contract submissions in Smiley; Leading tomorrow's special board meetings.
Kevin: ERPNext module upgrades; Server maintenance; PBX telecom setup.
Salam: GT Bank account opening; Securing lawyer approval letter.
Benjamin: RN Job flyer deployment; GT Bank payroll preparation.
Warihana: Grant research; Benevity profile; Trademark filing prep.
