The actions, and specifically who owns each one is the line to get right.
Who prints this
Whoever has been landed with taking the minutes, usually at short notice. Committees, school governors, residents associations and small boards, where the minutes are the only record anyone will ever consult.
The field that decides whether it works
The actions, and specifically who owns each one. Minutes that record "it was agreed to look into it" record nothing. A name against each action is what makes the next meeting shorter.
Why it is laid out this way
Actions live in a table with an owner and a date against each one, while the discussion stays in open lines above. Keeping them apart is what makes the sheet usable a week later, when the table is the only part anyone reads.
What is on the sheet
5 sections, in this order: Meeting, Date, Chair; Present; Decisions made; Actions; a note. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 15 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the meeting minutes alongside 3 other forms on the invoice and receipt forms page.
