This one-day workshop will help minute-takers understand their role and the best techniques for producing meeting minutes.

Preparing Minutes Quickly and Confidently Overview

No matter who you are or what you do, whether at work or in the community, you are involved in meetings. 

To ensure meetings are productive and worth the expense involved, three ingredients are necessary: an assurance of closure, a strong chair or leader, and accurate minute taking. It has been said that if the meeting minutes are not accurate, then the meeting may just as well not have taken place.

If people can’t remember or agree on what actually occurred at a meeting, how can the group effectively accomplish its objectives? This minute taking workshop helps minute-takers understand their role and the best techniques for producing meeting minutes that include all the essential information needed.
