The purpose of meetings is not only to share ideas and to reach a common agreement among members, but also to make decisions and appoint the right people to carry out these decisions.  \nThere are several different types of meetings that an organization may conduct and they are commonly outlined in the constitution.  \nIn summary the various types of meetings are:  \n• General body meetings-open to all members (however they may not have the right to vote) .  \n• Executive or committee meetings-involve only elected or appointed decision makers ; eg. members of subcommittees, that both groups achieve the same result-virtually no worthwhile decisions.  \nI. Executive or Committee Meetings  \nThe club’s executive committee meets as necessary to discuss club affairs. Some clubs’ executive committees meet twice a month, while others meet monthly. How frequently the committee meets is its decision, but it’s important for a newly elected committee to meet at the beginning of their term to discuss the budget and make the Success Plan.  \nAll decisions made by the executive committee must be approved by the club. If the club doesn’t approve of an executive committee decision, it is invalid.  \nComponents of a Executive Committee Meeting  \n• Agenda  \nInclude minutes of the last meeting, officers’ reports, inactive membership status, and a review of membership and education activities, to name a few. If committee members have trouble keeping with the timing on the agenda, use a timer at the meeting.  \n• Procedure  \nKeep the meeting organized and productive using parliamentary procedures. The club president sets the tone, serving as a role model for keeping order and showing respect for other committee members’ opinions.  \n• Pace  \nMaintain a fast pace, and keep the meeting short. Save the  \ninventive problem-solving and creative thinking for the end.  \n• Participation  \nRequire that every committee member reports or otherwise contributes at the meeting.  \n• Review  \nReview your club’s annual goals and progress in the Distinguished Club Program and Club Success Plan.  \n• Forward Thinking  \nDiscuss items to be on the agendas of future meetings.  \n• Creativity  \nDon’t get stuck in the “we’ve always done it this way”mentality. Invigorate and encourage fellow members to think creatively and propose new ideas.  \nII. General Body Meetings (with more details and procedures about meetings)  \nMany clubs have a meeting time which has been etched in tradition, for example 7.30pm at the lodge on the first Wednesday of each month. In this case, there is no need to send out reminder notices.  \nWhatever the tradition it is better to keep matters formal. The club secretary should issue a notice of the meeting attaching the agenda, minutes of the last meeting, the financial statement (if any) and written material related to important items due to be considered at the meeting.  \nMEETING PROCEDURES  \nIf a club follows the correct procedures for a meeting, they will tend to flow smoothly, run on time and be an effective and fair source for decision making. In some cases there are no defined procedures at all and in other cases the procedures are defined and restrictive.  \nMeeting procedures are set up to:  \n• Improve the efficiency in the conduct of the business of the meeting while giving protection to the rights of members present.  \n• Enable every person in the meeting to have an equal right to be heard and to have the opportunity to have their viewpoint considered.  \n• Enable every person present to have an equal right to vote on the issues and to help in the decision making. Make sure that your club members are aware of the meeting procedures and kept informed of any changes.  \nPRIOR TO THE MEETING  \n• Make arrangements for the meeting place.  \n• Send adequate notice","cbCaivQ5nPGk08Ls","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivQ5nPGk08Ls","pdf",769947,"English","# Executive or Committee Meetings\n## Components of a Executive Committee Meeting\n## General Body Meetings (with more details and procedures about meetings)\n## Meeting Procedures\n## Prior to the Meeting\n## At the Meeting\n## Motions","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of conducting meetings in a club or organization?\",\"answer\":\"Meetings support effective communication and democracy, help members share ideas and reach common agreements, and enable decisions and appointment of the right people to carry them out.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key components of an executive or committee meeting?\",\"answer\":\"Key components include the agenda (with past minutes and reports), organized procedure using parliamentary methods, maintaining an efficient pace, requiring participation from every committee member, reviewing annual goals and progress, forward thinking for future agendas, and encouraging creativity.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be handled prior to the meeting for smooth proceedings?\",\"answer\":\"Arrangements include booking the meeting place, sending adequate notice, enclosing minutes from the previous meeting if not already sent, collecting officers’ reports, informing members within a set time, handling nominations, arranging printing of the annual report, organizing guest speakers, and planning hospitality, venue, date, and time.\"}]","Conducting Successful Meetings | PDF"]
