Professionals who want to take their minute taking skills to the next level with this advanced session on Motions and Voting.

Course Outline

Do you ever second-guess yourself when taking minutes? Do you wonder if you really are completing your minutes in the proper/legal way? How much is too much information and how much isn’t enough when documenting decisions, discussions, and voting?


Minute Taking is a skill that needs to be learned and perfected. Just taking down what happens in the meeting isn’t going to be enough if your minutes end up in court. Learn how to protect your company and its officers. Discuss what needs to be captured during discussions and decisions, and why.
