Conducting Meetings is a handy guide that shows you how to run meetings smoothly and effectively, especially when planning events. It explains why formal meetings are important for making decisions and keeping proper records. The chapter walks you through the basics of how a meeting should flow—from starting off, reviewing past discussions, going through the agenda, and wrapping up with clear action points. You will learn about different types of meetings like brainstorming sessions, commitment-building discussions, and problem-solving gatherings, as well as the documents that make meetings work. It also breaks down the key roles in a meeting: the chairperson who leads, the secretary who records and organises, and the members who share their ideas. There is even practical language you can use in discussions, plus advice on how to handle different personalities.
