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 />
