5 Effective Meetings Opening Meetings Start on time. This respects those who have shown up on time and reminds late-comers that the scheduling is serious Welcome everyone and thank them for their time. Take roll in some fashion—Roll call or sign in sheet Review/add to agenda Remember the ground rules of the charter**** Review action items from previous meeting for updates on them

6 Effective Meetings Facilitating Meetings Stay on task. Follow the agenda. Pull members back to the agenda/task. Stay in your role as chair/facilitator. Listen and follow the discussion. Summarize what you hear. Ask clarifying questions. Express confusion when it exists. Ask: Are we ready to move on?

7 Effective Meetings Facilitating Meetings Know and follow basic rules of order (RR) Keep track of time. Watch communication flow….Solicit input from members who rarely contribute. Learn how to handle difficult situations/people. (see below) Use the issue bin/action items to track what will be done between meetings.

8 Effective Meetings Evaluating the Meeting: Leave 5 minutes to evaluate the meeting ** Do Not Skip Use the plus/delta item on the agenda Evaluate the content; evaluate the process Closing the Meeting: Always close on time Quickly review action items Remind members where to find minutes posted

9 Effective Meetings Ground Rules of Charters at PTC Begin and end on time: use cell phones as universal time. Come prepared; Read all materials prior to meeting. The meeting environment is a safe zone; there is no rank in the room. One speaker at a time. Agree only if it makes sense to do so. Support decisions made on consensus. Keep comments on target with topics/tasks at hand.

10 Effective Meetings Ground Rules of Charters at PTC Be professional to each other. Use quality tools as often as possible to find consensus. All action items must be completed in a timely manner; preferably by the established deadline. Agenda items and related material may be submitted by committee members and non-committee members to the chair/liaison for consideration. They should be submitted one week prior to the meeting by 5 PM. All ringers on cell phones/electronic devices should be turned off or set on vibrate.
