Finances and COAA requests, etc..

Make sure that only attendees are people who really need to be present (respect everyone's time) Establish objectives for the meeting, especially if not a regular meeting Have the attendees prepare in advance, eg. Treasurer and/or Section Reports Keep it Short. The longer a meeting runs past a certain threshold, the less productive each additional minute becomes. Record Key Points and decisions (record keeping again) Create Action Items and assign them (record keeping again) Report Progress and follow-up ... Post-meeting communication is simply another tool to help keep your meeting attendees accountable for implementing the decisions made during the meeting and it also helps eliminate future, unnecessary "progress meetings”
