Minute Taking Standards & Related Issues
(WK-A)

Minute taking can be complex, tricky and challenging. Minute takers are often expected to take concise and coherent minutes from poorly run meetings. Many are directed to take minutes without established standards and without knowledge of the issues being discussed.

In this one day workshop, learn to take minutes with ease and confidence, and to build rapport with your group.

Topics include:
  • Minute taker's do's and don'ts
  • Ten key principles for minute taking
  • Anecdotal, decision-only and verbatim minutes
  • Making minutes "reader-friendly" (format ideas)
  • Taking minutes at informal and formal meetings
  • Recording motions, amendments, other actions
  • De-personalizing the minutes
  • Minutes approval process and its impacts
  • Impacts of freedom of information & privacy issues
  • Building rapport with the team's chair and members
  • Analyzing excerpts from minutes

WK-B: "Meetings, Rules & Effective Decision Making"
Friday, September 5, 2008 (1 day), Vancouver
 
Meetings, Rules & Effective Decision Making                                 
(WK-B)

Are your meetings monotonous and dull? Do they last too long and achieve too little? Are they dominated by "the talkers," to the exclusion of "the thinkers?" Do they get bogged down in wrangling over rules of order? Do they become unraveled at the first sign of controversy?

In this one day workshop we discuss the principles of shared decision making, making meetings work better, and using rules of order sensibly and intelligently.

Topics include:

  • Goals of shared decision-making
  • Ten key ingredients of a successful meeting
  • Planning considerations and agenda design.
  • Roles of meeting participants
  • Roles of the Chair
  • Managing time, people and issues in meetings
  • Handling challenging scenarios during meetings
  • Demystifying and humanizing the rules of order
  • Quorum, majority tie vote, abstentions
  • Handling motions, amendments, other procedures
  • Re-visiting previous decisions
  • Calling the question, tabling, points of order
