It is very useful to use an annotated agenda. For those who have never used one, it is simply an agenda with notes on it. For the agenda that I send to the meeting participants, I annotate it to let them know why an item is on the agenda or if there are any attachments. Adoption of Agenda (Motion Required) 2.

Organizations must set a value agenda that clearly lays out which business units generate the most value for the organization, and which generate the least. An organization that doesn’t have a value agenda could lead to limited clarity on aspiration and required talent/capabilities, according to the report.

The new year is a good time to bring up the Look-Forward Agenda. The Look-Forward Agenda is very helpful for this. It is basically a list of items that are regularly dealt with throughout the year and provides a timetable of when these items need to be added to the agenda. Happy New Year everyone!

It can be quite daunting taking minutes for a Committee that you have never met. Prior to the meeting introduce yourself to the chairperson (if you have not met them before) and ask them to either introduce you to the other Committee members or ask at the beginning of the meeting for each member to say their name. Remembering names.

I had a job a few years back that provided support for twelve Committees who had four meetings a year, which meant I was writing a set of minutes practically every week. Unless it is relevant to the key agenda points leave this dialogue out of the minutes. The date, time and location of the meeting. The attendees. The apologies.

About 10 years ago I used to manage 12 Committees as part of my role at the time. These minutes were just from the main Committee meetings – I also had to attend and minute other meetings throughout the year. I absolutely loved the job but it did mean that I had to write 48 sets of minutes each year. iPad Applications.
