This is important to note since this means that if you want to link -something in the meeting invite (e.g. a doc or slides), it must be edited in two -places. This is more reasonable than manually adding folks to the meeting in -alternating succession. - -Calendar invites include all the folks expected to be at the board meeting, -including our legal counsel. - -COS and VP of Sales should be included on all board meeting calendar invites.
