Staying on Track
Let’s have a chat about what to do when your meeting falls completely out of order.
I was asked how to keep on topic in a meeting. She said “I’ve been on a few committees where it didn’t matter, someone always veered off topic and the group had to be steered back.”
Keep your meeting extremely formal
Regularly review your committee charge
Set an agenda
Know how to get back on track
Have your members check in with where they are before the meeting starts
Know your committee
If you are having a problem with your committee, please feel free to reach out to me directly, and we can chat about the specific problem you are seeing, and come up with a productive solution. For more information, please visit parliproconsulting.wordpress.com. -
My Story
I’ve had a lot of people look at me like I was crazy when I’ve mentioned that I LOVE Parliamentary Procedure, and just as many ask me what it was. Only a handful have asked how I came to learn about it and love it so much.
I have a list of potential topic ideas coming up, but if there is something you have a question about, or an issue you have run into, let me know. I would love to help you out on this show, and you never know, there is probably someone out there having the same problem as you.
