Get Ready For Minutes!

Introduction to Digital Minute Taking

Common questions from minute-takers:

How to format the minutes?

What to record during a meeting?

How can technology can make life easier?

When should agendas and minutes be distributed?

How can meetings run more smoothly?

In this workshop you will find the answers to these and many more questions as we guide you through the process of preparing for a meeting, what to do during the meeting, and how to distribute minutes that people want to read and take action from!

WordPress swag (sadly not available at the workshop!)

During this hands-on workshop you will create a new WordPress blog, learn the fundamentals of blogging in WordPress, and publish your first blog post.
