Course Description

Good minute-takers are worth their weight in gold. Minute-takers can do more than record the outcomes of meetings concisely; they can also help the chair run the meeting more effectively. This workshop brings participants up to date with the latest thinking on meetings and covers all the practical skills of minute taking. A key message is that minute-taking can only be as effective as part of the wider process of meeting administration. Participants will be able to take away ideas for improving the quality of their work.
