FIGURE 12.6 A Set of Meeting Minutes

The first section of this template calls for information about the logistics of the meeting. You can modify the template to make it appropriate for your organization. The second section of this template is devoted to the agenda items for the meeting.

The second section of this template is devoted to the agenda items for the meeting.

Note that for each agenda item, the note taker is prompted to state how long the discussion took, the subject of the discussion, and the name of the person leading the discussion.

For each agenda item, the note taker records the main points of the discussion and the action items. Because the template calls for the action item (such as a vote or a task to be done), the name of the person responsible for doing the task, and the deadline for the task, there should be no confusion about who is to do which task and when it is due.
