...Taking 1) Understand the meeting. Accuracy Meeting minutes have no value if they are not accurate. Names and terms, especially the organisation’s own jargon, must be spelled correctly. And if you are taking minutes without the backup of an audio recording, you need to get it right the first time in your notes: there is no second chance. It’s very difficult to take accurate notes if you are unfamiliar with what you’re hearing. Preparation A good minute taker will prepare him or herself ahead of the meeting. Make sure you understand the agenda and review related documents, such as minutes from previous meetings, related hearings or interviews. Based on these documents, build a glossary of names and terms. A good glossary makes minute taking easier, faster and more accurate. Some people believe that only someone from the same organisation - or even the same department can understand the meeting well enough to take accurate minutes. As independent minute takers, we find this simply isn’t true. In fact, many times someone less intimately connected to proceedings can actually take better notes. An outside minute taker will often be able to hear and record what was actually said, without "reading into" the connotations. A lot of organisations waste a lot of time reviewing and correcting minutes. Make sure your organisation isn’t one of them. 2) Make the time. Taking good meeting minutes takes time. Leave ample time for preparation, for the meeting itself, and for writing up...

...laboratories at Norton and affiliate hospitals, daily meetings with my preceptor to get a profound understanding of my project, and information about the internship program. I have been given different opportunities to take part in lab projects but my main project deals with standardization. Currently, Norton has approximately 110 physician practices. Nearly 80 of these facilities perform in-house lab testing. My project will deal with collecting data on the types of tests each office conducts in house, weekly volume, which vendor is used, and what analyzers are located in the facilities. Once the spreadsheet is compiled, a team of laboratory experts and myself will go through the tests to set criteria on which test is allowed to be done in-house and which tests need to be sent to the CPA lab or the Ancillary Lab. From this project, I will be able to determine the expenses and reimbursement rates to help vet the test menu. The intern program also consists of weekly “Coffee Clutches”. This one-hour sessions gives us the chance to meet and mingle with Norton Administrators. The first week, we met the Rev. Ron Oliver. He talked a great deal about work-life balance and how to embrace opportunities. The next week, we met Al Cornish, the Chief Learning Officer. During this meeting, we learned about the importance of learning and the free benefits to employees by Norton University. Through this past month, my favorite part has been meeting with everyone including the intern team. I have...

...Setting The alcohol anonymous meeting I attended took place at East Bay in warren at a club house between 5:15 pm and 5:45pm and I will refer to the meeting as “The gathering of morals”. The room is big enough to accommodate the members and from what I learnt nothing else happens there apart from the meetings. Signs are put in the walls which are basically the announcements, 12 steps, and 12 traditions and slogans. There was a lot of coffee indeed and people freely filled there cups. There are members as young as 16 years old and older individuals making the median age to be around 45 to 55 of years. There were individuals of different social class: those who seem to be living in the street and those who seem much confortable financially. There was no much big amount in racial diversity. Meeting occurrence AA meeting started on time with the chairperson “Mr. Milton” calling the meeting to order. Other conversation stopped and people took their sits. It then followed a moment of silence before one of the members offered to pray then there after members recited the Serenity Prayer. The chairperson then asked if there was any person attending the meeting for the first time and their reasons for attendance. The aim of doing so was to welcome any guests or visitors. What I observed and shocked was "The gathering of morals” meeting room is not a church in but in many ways, it imitates the church among the Christians faithful space that would be familiar to any Catholic church...

...The first meeting that I attended was an Al-Anon meeting on Monday, June 12th. This meeting was located at the First Baptist Church of Ashville and it began at 12:00 P.M. I went with Brook and we ended up running into Wendy once we were at the meeting. This was the first time I had been to the First Baptist Church and I was struck by how beautiful the location was. The meeting was held in a room within the church that was located close to the gymnasium and the youth center. The room was tricky to find, however, there were lots of people who graciously pointed Brook and I in the right direction. This meeting was extremely structured and was a discussion based meeting. The leader of the meeting read a short passage that dealt with letting go and letting God, then opened the floor for discussion. Since there were about 30 attendees, not everyone was given the opportunity to share their thoughts on the reading. Individuals who did share...

...Organizing a Cost- Reduction program The Bottom Line * You need a multidisciplinary team to attain significant cost- reduction. Support from the top helps greatly. * Encounter resistance to the cost reduction effort * There are risks associated with cost – reduction opportunities * Meet at least once a week * Maintain an action plan to create and sustain reduction momentum. * Someone who writes well and is good in capturing details should take notes and publish meeting minutes no later than one day after each meeting. The meeting minutes should be sent to the chief executive, the team members, and the head of each department. Doing this keep others in the loop, and it keeps the effort alive. * The meeting minutes should include “living” task list. Team members should provide input regarding the status of each task in the meeting, and the person preparing the meeting minutes should update the task list to show current status. * The team members should discuss cost- reduction ideas in a free- flowing manner. The ideas may come from the team members or from others in the company. All of the ideas should be captured on a paper. After discussing all of the ideas, the team should decide if each idea should be pursued. If the team thinks an idea has a merit, in most cases it will go to the affected department manager. Key Questions: 1.) Do we have a cost – reduction effort in place? 2.) Do we have cost – reduction targets? 3.) How do we identify and eliminate...

...subcommittees to have meetings with the public and he recommended that we have these meetings at homes of citizens of our city. He believed that if we went out into the neighborhoods we would get a better response than having the meetings at city hall. I has been my experience we see a better turn out of residents if we had regularly scheduled meetings in a place that was familiar to our citizens. Having meetings in different locations, on different days and at different hours, would not be conducive to attendance or capturing the trust of our residents. After much discussion, Juan said he wanted us to do it his way. Some of the committee members just shrugged their shoulders and proceeded with his direction. The first meeting was held on a Tuesday night at the home of one of our committee members. One would initially believe that attendance was great for this meeting because of what appeared to be a full house. But if you analyzed the attendance, we had all the members of the committee, most members of the city council and only six residents from the neighborhood where the meeting took place. The second meeting was held a month later at the home of a different committee member and attendance was even worse than the first meeting. There were only five committee members and two residents present. It was finally my turn to lead a meeting and I became the rebel. I went against the direction of the committee chairman and had my meeting at city hall on a Sunday...

...strives for a healthier society, and also has financial benefits for the sales associates that commit to selling the product. All the members have no trouble selling Zeal because they are passionate about the product, plus offer their own extraordinary testimonies of how the line has personally affected their health for the better. (Zeal for life, 2013) The purpose of the meeting is to further train current Zeal vendors, recruit new members, share testimonies, and build new sales techniques. Unlike what is suggested in The Business Writer’s Handbook (p.338) there are no key participants, and whoever would like to attend can. It is not required for any of the sellers to attend any meetings, though it is available for anyone who would like to participate. The Tulsa chapter has meetings every Thursday at seven o’clock in the evening. The meetings are held at a member’s house who is willing to open their home to spreading the word about Zeal. This meeting did not have traditional agenda, but they did have a PowerPoint presentation so they could display topics and stay on track. This not only helped guide the meeting but also gave everyone in attendance a visual to follow along with. They had two main points to cover in the slide show, which was what zeal for life is and how to get involved with it and the job opportunities...

...A GENRE ANALYSIS OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STAFF MEETING MINUTES ABSTRACT Interest in genre analysis has increased over the years with studies done by several scholars such as Swales, Bhatia, Berkonkotter, Hyon, Bazerman, Miller, to mention just a few, on various genre ranging from the research article in general to letters. Studies on genre analysis into meeting minutes are however, very limited and so the aim of this study is to investigate the communicative purpose, schematic structure and lexico grammatical features which characterize this genre. Swales' (1990) rhetorical approach to genre analysis was used to investigate eighteen meeting minutes which revealed the occurrence of seven moves with each having its own communicative purpose and linguistic features which characterize the genre as a formal one. The study has implications for genre studies in the area of pedagogy and further research. Key words: genre, minutes, discourse, moves, steps, Ghana. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Minutes is a highly formal written genre situated in the domain of business discourse and is an official record and considered a legal document by auditors, IRS and the law courts. Oxford defines it as a written record of what is said and decided at a meeting. It is used by institutions, corporate bodies and varied organisations. Its main communicative purpose is to record and relay information to the members of that discourse community. It also gives members the platform to express their views and opinions...

Instead, they left Mike behind and moved on without his presence. The team at week five is now ready to present their case and is now in the Performing Stage. Mike only has some rough handwritten notes. Knowledge of the Team Development Stages should have helped Christine fix problems during the Storming Stage before moving on to the next stage clean and fresh. Part II: Problem Identification The primary problem is Mike, the secondary problem is Christine. During the first group meeting, Mike showed resistance to get together before class. Then as time went on Mike missed most of the meetings. But Mike left brief notes to Christine, which she was supposed to discuss for him at the meetings. In week three there was a cafeteria incident where Mike walked away with drama. Then on week four, Mike confides to Christine that aside from the job, the coursework, he now has girlfriend problems. On week five, Mike could not...
