Basic Meeting Tips
How to make meetings count!

Here are some steps that may be helpful in conducting a meeting:

1. Set an agenda. Before the meeting, create an agenda of topics that will be discussed during the meeting. Share the agenda with all attendees before the meeting starts.
    
2. Introduce the meeting. Start the meeting by welcoming all attendees and explaining the purpose of the meeting.
    
3. Follow the agenda. Use the agenda as a guide and stick to the topics listed. Encourage attendees to stay on topic.
    
4. Encourage participation. Allow all attendees to have a chance to speak, and make sure everyone is given equal opportunity to voice their opinion.
    
5. Summarize. At the end of each topic, summarize the main points discussed and clarify any decisions or actions that need to be taken.
    
6. Close the meeting. Thank all attendees for their participation, and reiterate any important decisions or actions that need to be taken.

Remember that it is important to run meetings efficiently and effectively while ensuring that all attendees feel heard and valued.
