Kickstart your journey to becoming a master of effective minute-taking with our first of two masterclass sessions. This comprehensive primer covers everything from setting up for success to the nuts and bolts of minute-taking best practices.
Learn how to set a timely agenda and effectively handle action items, all while weaving in an annual work plan. We'll guide you through crucial discussions with the chair and explain the indispensable role that meeting minutes play—whether it's for legal proceedings, historical records, or due diligence for incoming directors. Dive into the benefits of having a professional board secretary for the best in governance compliance, confidentiality, and experience.
We'll also cover who should—and shouldn't—be taking the minutes, shedding light on why CEOs and board members are not ideal candidates for this task. Plus, get to know the indispensable role of the Board Secretary, who's far more than an administrative aide but a valuable source of governance information.
