Summary
Learn to take meeting minutes
Description/Agenda
The minutes of a meeting are the permanent record of actions planned or
completed and decisions reached. Minutes are a running account and have an
essential role and a real value. Minutes officially record the decisions reached
and when the minutes are accepted, can only be altered by formal action. Full
minutes keep absent members informed.
Minutes constitute a reminder of the topics discussed, and ensure that
pending or deferred issues are not forgotten. In addition, the minutes represent
the history of the organization and are invaluable to those who need to acquaint
themselves with the work done in the past.
