Not all people who plan meetings are “meeting planners,” nor do all meeting planners start out their careers as meeting planners. Not only did I set the meetings up, but I also took notes (in shorthand no less), transcribed the notes and prepared final reports for dissemination.

Meeting planners work well independently or as a team member. They tend to be life-long learners and students of experiential learning. They learn through doing, through the professional organizations they belong to, and through outside studies such as Certified Meeting Professional and Certified Meeting Manager programs. .

Meeting planning is a cognitive task. You must think about your manager’s workload, other commitments, travel, upcoming meetings, past meetings, previous week’s schedule. You would consider jet lag; personal appointments; time to prepare; time to wrap up a meeting; logistics; travel time. COGNITIVE task!

Making sure agendas are going out timely, meeting with leaders to create the agenda, taking notes, bringing attention to meetings, etc.

They feel they have been managing calendars or planning meetings forever so why pay attention. For 28 years, I have been teaching assistants to pay attention to the fundamentals such as meeting planning, travel planning, calendar maintenance, organizational skills, follow-up systems, time management, and communications.

Springing something on attendees during the meeting is not good use of time. Give attendees as much of a heads up as possible. One phase of meetings that often gets forgotten is the post-meeting stage. Transfer action items to follow-up lists, calendars, and “to-do” folder. Send recap of meeting or minutes.
