MEETING ORGANIZER<br />
For a group to function effectively, it is important to know in advance how you will operate. Some important<br />
considerations for meetings are:<br />
TIME:<br />
PLACE:<br />
TOPICS:<br />
CHAIR:<br />
FOOD:<br />
MINUTES:<br />
ATTENDANCE:<br />
MEMBER LIST:<br />
On what day <strong>and</strong> at what time will you meet? Is this a convenient time for all involved in the meeting?<br />
Where will you meet? Do people need directions to the meeting place? How do you want to set up your<br />
space? (Sometimes you don’t have a choice <strong>and</strong> a room can only be set up one way.) Do you want<br />
people to sit in small groups? Or around a big table?<br />
What is your agenda?<br />
Who will print up the agenda <strong>and</strong> run the meeting?<br />
Will there be snacks? Who will bring them?<br />
Who will take <strong>and</strong> distribute notes from the meeting?<br />
What if it snows? Who do you call if you can’t come?<br />
Who are the members of the group <strong>and</strong> how do you contact each other?<br />
