Mary Said:

What template/style would I use to write meeting minutes for a meeting that was cancelled for documentation?

We Answered:

Just title it Meeting Minutes date it and tell what happened just like you told us. Can be in a Word document.

Cassandra Said:

How do you write amazing minutes for a meeting?

We Answered:

Minutes do not have to be amazing, nor are they expected to be. Good minutes for any type of meeting should be concise and factual. They are a form of recordkeeping, not entertainment. Stick to the facts and you should be fine.

Renee Said:

what tense should i use when writing minutes of a meeting?

We Answered:

Present tense. I've heard various minutes to meetings being read back at the next meeting and it's always read back as if it is in the present tense. It is that way because it is a recording of what took place *at the time*, at *that* time. If that makes any sense. :-)

Karen Said:

When ur writing up the minutes of a meeting is the new business discussed at the meeting become old business?

We Answered:

Nope...even though the meeting was 2 weeks ago anything that was brought up at the meeting as new business should still be recorded in the minutes as new business. Old business would be anything that was first visited at a previous meeting but was talked about or followed up on a the most recent one.

Anything that is raised for the first time during the most recent meeting is considered new business. If the same item is revisited again at a subsequent meeting, then it moves to old business. Until your next meeting, everything that was listed as "new" on the most recent agenda is still new.

Calvin Said:

Can anyone provide me with details or a place to get help to write meeting minutes?

We Answered:

try google searching for meeting minutes templates. Theres a lot that goes in to it, it's not difficult but more attention to detail... hopefully you can find a template to use for starters. also, some companies use different formats so maybe ask people in your company who have experience doing this. I'm sure there are copies of meeting minutes from previous meetings that you could get an idea from...good luck!

When you writing up the minutes of a meeting is the new business discussed at the meeting become old business?

We Answered:

No. You're creating a record of what happened in the meeting. In the meeting, it was new business. So in your minutes, it will be reflected as new business.
