Description

And you'll take the minutes.

This is a statement that often sends fear into the minds of meeting attendees. Why? Because too many people consider the role boring, stressful, and non-important.

This three-hour Minute Taking course: How to Take Minutes at Meetings will change your mind.

I have been involved in the meeting process -- both as a minute taker and as a chair -- for many years.

In fact, I have written one of the first books exclusively on minute taking -- The Minute Takers Handbook -- now in its 4th reprint. Since then I have taught minute taking to all sorts of groups. And I have learned even more techniques to help you.

Whether you are taking minutes for boards, committees, weekly meetings, volunteer groups or your condo association, this workshop will make you more confident and enable you to produce professional minutes.

Take this ultimate Minute Taking course right now and learn how to take minutes at meetings.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who takes or will take minutes at meetings of boards, committees, volunteer groups or condo associatesions

There are items that were covered that I would not have thought of. The instructor is knowledgeable, precise, and explains in detail what you need to do become a professional minute taker. I realize I have been overthinking this process the whole time and after today, I feel more confident about my role as a Board Liaison.
