Introduction:
The success of a meeting requires not only good content but also an accurate record of what has taken place and what action is required.
The format of minutes will vary dependent on the type of meeting and its level of formality. They may just be a list of action points or they may be a very full record of who said what and of what decisions were taken complete with records of voting. While a list of action points is fairly easy to produce writing more formal minutes requires greater levels of skill.

To provide the skills necessary to take effective minutes of meetings.
