Typical Layout of An Agenda
A meeting agenda is usually headed with the date, time and location of the meeting, followed by a series of points outlining the order of the agenda and the complete list of tasks made up by the secretary and executive members. Steps on a typical agenda may include:
- Welcome/open meeting
- Apologies for absence
- Approve minutes of the previous meeting
- Matters arising from the previous meeting
- A list of specific points to be discussed — this section is where the bulk of the discussion as well as decisions in the meeting usually takes place
- Any other business (AOB) — allowing a participant to raise another point for discussion.
- Arrange/announce details of next meeting
- Close meeting
