Minute Takers Workshop
Control What Occurred
Seminar Outline:
No matter who you are or what you do, whether at work or in the community, you are involved in meetings. Meetings are costly, even if they are held in a company boardroom. To ensure meetings are productive and worth the expense involved, three ingredients are necessary: a strong chair or leader, an assurance of closure 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 cannot remember or agree on what actually occurred at a meeting, how can the group effectively accomplish its objectives? This one-day workshop helps minute-takers understand their role and the best techniques for producing meeting minutes that include all the essential information needed.
