Read your governing documents to determine what kind of notification is required for a board meeting.
There are board meetings where no vote is taken, which are working board meetings where matters are discussed, options weighed, and so forth, when it is unlikely that owners would want to attend. Remember, board meetings are just that: board meetings. They are not owners' meetings.
The annual meeting is usually the only meeting where owners are automatically invited to contribute from the floor. Otherwise, owners must notify the board officially about an issue using the official notification procedure established by the board.
When boards meet and vote, proper notice must be given to owners. The penalty for not including owners in these meetings is to be called out in a subsequent meeting by an owner who can ask that the matters voted on in secret be discussed with owners present, and voted on again in public.

Owners and board members don't agree?
Often owners and board members don't agree. Your governing documents that bind the conduct of the board and all the members of the association (owners) indicate in some way how issues are to be handled. Note that members (owners) elect board members, and there are some issues upon which only board members -- not owners -- vote. If owners want to overturn a board vote, your governing documents may describe a percentage of owners who can vote to overrule a board vote. Sometimes this is a simple majority, sometimes a plurality is required and other times a vote must be a 'super-majority'. Owners in opposition to a board vote can educate themselves about how to bring the issue back to the board meeting agenda and vote to overrule the board's vote.

Can home owners association board exempt themselves from new rule they created?
No. The association board members, presumed to be owners in the association, are governed by the CC&Rs, the By-laws and the rules the same way all owners are governed. Often, sadly, board members choose to ignore these agreements that they make with all other owners, especially when they are elected by members. Read your governing documents to determine how to gather owners to collaborate with each other to document rules violations by board members and keep that documentation in board meeting minutes. Sheding light on these issues, sometimes is curative.

When should hoa meeting minutes be ratified?
Read your governing documents, or refer to the state law under which your association is incorporated to determine your legal requirements. Meeting minutes are best approved at the next board meeting. Best practices dictate that transparency and frequent communication are both key elements to successful communities. The board can decide when to ratify or approve minutes, and decide when to publish them to owners. In the reviewing process, once all board members have reviewed the draft minutes and the minutes are eligible for approval at the next board meeting, the board can circulate 'draft' board minutes, so long as they are clearly labeled as unapproved. As well, several states are working on legislation to enable boards to approve annual meeting minutes at the next board meeting, and not wait until the next annual meeting to approve them.
