Taking minutes of meetings - Joanna Gutmann

Minutes are vital to the success of any meeting. Participants rely on them for information they may have missed, the action points act as a timely reminder, and those who could not attend can see what was decided in their absence.

setting up a meeting;

sections of a meeting;

the agenda;

personal preparation;

taking notes;

the minutes;

recording decisions and actions.

Minute-taking can appear daunting, but this practical guide provides you with the knowledge of your role and responsibilities, so that you can efficiently complete the task with confidence.
