Meeting Minutes

What are Meeting Minutes?

Meeting minutes are recorded notes taken during a meeting. They emphasize the most important subjects being addressed, motions being made or voted on, and activities to be carried out. The minutes of a meeting are usually taken by a member of the organization who has been chosen. It is their responsibility to preserve a full record of what transpired during the meeting.

When it comes to recording meeting minutes, there are five major processes to follow. They are as follows:

• To be aware of which agreed-upon acts must be carried out by whom and when;
• to find out what the main findings were;
• Follow-up notes of the meeting discourse in the form of an essay;
