I offered my past business partner that retired, to come out of retirement and become my CEO in exchange for 25% of my membership interest.He accepted and paid me $250.00 to be the contribution of the 25% of Membership Interest, since I paid $1000 for the 100% capital contribution when I started it.So, can I add him as a member on the Minutes?
