About
When people have a good understanding of the impact of an action focused agenda, coupled with action focused minutes, meetings become much more effective.
This course gives you the confidence to record the notes suited to your style, and present them with reference to constitutional guidelines in an accurate set of minutes.
Minutes need to be fit for purpose, and you will develop an assertive style that will be valued by participants at the meeting.
The finer details
Many of the organisations listed have protocols and proceedings dictated by constitution and rules of governance, which is very different to workplace meetings which have in house protocols.
All of these organisations have sub committees and area and regional committees that cascade information down and up, so the consistency of meeting and minute structure is important.
It is these specifics that make this training on meetings relevant and customised to need. Various constitutions will be referred to in the training.
