Tips for Taking Good
Meeting Minutes
Use your meeting agenda as a guide and try to limit yourself from being overly
detailed. Keeping things short and sweet will not only cut down on uncertainty
and make the board's job easier, but it'll also make homeowners more likely to
read them, attend future meetings, and engage with the community. The
following are some additional tips for taking good minutes:
• Take attendance
• Be brief and concise
• Limit total meeting minutes to about two pages
• Be objective
• Ask for clarification if needed
• Use a minutes template
• Prepare minutes as soon as possible after the meeting
