ABOUT MEETINGS
This is the first of several screens about meetings.
There are certain
terms that people use to identify special aspects of meetings. These in-
clude:
Agenda - a list of topics to be discussed. Providing an
agenda helps
those who attend plan how to get the most out of the meeting.
Minutes - the record of what was decided. It is better not to include
everything that was discussed, but only those things that were ac-
tually decided. It is said that someone "takes" (writes) minutes.
Chair - the person who is in charge of helping the meeting focus on the
items on the agenda. In some meetings, the chair is supposed to be
impartial; in many others, especially staff meetings, the chair will
retain her or his role as supervisor, and direct the meeting in the way
he or she thinks it should go.
Adjourn - the meeting is over.
