3. Make it worth it for members
No 10 minute meetings
Make sure you cover every aspect before adjourning your meeting
Make sure you have a purpose in EVERY meeting.
You want to make sure each meeting is not too short. If you have meetings in afternoons, students may have there parents come pick them up. If your meeting is only 10 minutes, then theres no purpose for them to come to the meeting
Also, make sure you cover every aspect you want to cover. Never have the member able to have the excuse “Well, you didn’t tell us that…”
Having a purpose in every meeting assures that it runs smoothly and in an orderly fashion.
