In this tip sheet you'll learn what minutes are and what minutes are not; why minutes are useful and important (there really are some good reasons); what types of meetings you might take minutes at; who the attendees really are and where you put them on the minutes; how to prepare to take minutes (that's half the job right there); how to actually take notes for minutes at meetings, and how to type them up later to form the final minutes; plus lots more.

You'll learn some basic definitions for words like motion and quorum, and get some ideas to "troubleshoot" things that might happen while minute-taking that affect you and your job at hand.

"So often secretaries/assistants are pushed into taking meeting notes and sometimes are unfamiliar with the topic - or unclear as to what exactly constitutes 'minutes'. This [tip sheet] topic was a very effective tool in order to get the job done and feel confident in its quality.

...very informational - basically an 'everything you'd ever want to know' guide."
