Notas del editor

  1. 1.Graduate experience in VFF. 2. Slide. 3. 15 years working with committees. Some work well, some don’t. My view that – every body is busy so if we must have meetings we must make sure they are worth while. As committee secretaries, there are things we can do to make committees more worth while.
  2. CSU has a way for doing meetings. This relates to committees of academic senate, but tends to trickle through other meetings. With this slide I plan to say that, even if you dont follow the CSU way, the information contained within this presentation is still useful because it is recognised as good practice for conducting meetings in Australia.
  3. Cant talk about agenda’s and minutes without talking about all the other things Secretaries do. I think that it is ‘everything we do’ that contributes to the success of the meeting.
