Taking Minutes Made Easy A quick and easy guide on how to take minutes at your next meeting

Definitions MINUTES: The written record of what was done at a meeting, not what was said at a meeting TRANSCRIPT: Usually a typed copy of dictated or recorded material NOTES: Condensed or informal record

Standard for Taking Minutes Robert’s Rules of Order Commonly used rules of parliamentary procedure which govern the manner in which meetings are conducted. Since this is the standard by which we run our meetings, it makes sense to use this as the standard by which we take the minutes of these meetings.

Start with a Good Agenda Consider using the agenda as the skeleton to your minutes – filling in the details as the meeting progresses.

What DO the minutes include? The kind of meeting Name of the organization Date and place of the meeting The time the meeting was called to order Names of the presiding officer(s) and secretary (recorder) The number of members present (to determine a quorum)

What DO the minutes include? Points of order and appeals Action items from the previous meeting for follow-up status Action items assigned

What DO the minutes include? Any report given at the meeting (e.g. committee reports) –Record the name of the committee and reporting member –Attach written copy of the report –Do not summarize the report in minutes

What DO the minutes include? Main motions as they were voted –Who made the motion –The contents of the motion –If the motion was seconded –Whether it was discussed –If it was amended & the motion as amended –Vote count –Pass/fail/tabled The time of adjournment

What DON’T the minutes include? Any opinions or interpretation of the recorder/secretary Judgmental phrases such as “heated debate” or “valuable comment” The content of discussion Motions that were withdrawn Name of the person who seconded a motion Flowery language

What DON’T the minutes include? Reports in detail Transcripts of the meeting
