And you'll take the minutes! Does this send fear into your heart?
It shouldn't because with the right tools and knowledge, you can make the minute taking process – may be not enjoyable – but at least a lot easier.
The course is only three hours. You can take it all at once or in sections that fit your schedule.
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 the stress out of taking minutes at meetings.
