In plain language#

For every regular or special members' meeting, the cooperative must "execute a certificate containing the date of mailing or delivery of the notice and a statement that the … notices were mailed or delivered as prescribed by law." The certificate is made part of the record of the meeting. ^{P1, § 308B.521, subds. 1–2}

Subd. 3. A member's failure to receive a meeting notice "does not invalidate an action taken by the members at a members' meeting."

How it works in practice#

Prepare the certificate when the notice goes out and file it with the minutes; see § 308B.245 on meeting records.
The section does not say who signs. A records officer is the natural person (§ 308B.475) but the text does not require it. [INFERENCE]
Subd. 3 protects against a member who did not get a notice. It does not excuse a cooperative from mailing or otherwise delivering notice as § 308B.511 or § 308B.515 requires, and the text does not address a cooperative that never sent notice.
