Book Included: Key Guides: Minute Taking
For all those responsible for taking the minutes of their meetings, this task is not something generally relished. It is something minute takers often feel anxious about or is at the very least, rather a chore they are not looking forward to. All too often, the minute taker struggles to make sense of a rather chaotic meeting and works long and hard to write up intelligible minutes, sometimes not even read by the meeting participants.
This course stresses the importance of the minute taker’s role and offers practical tips on how to make the task more manageable both in terms of preparing for the meeting in collaboration with the Chair as well as writing notes during the meeting and producing the minutes afterwards.
The DSC publication, ‘The Minute Taker’s Handbook’ is also provided with this course.
