An agenda is a written plan showing the order of what is to be discussed or is
to take place at a meeting. This helps you to stick to a plan and by doing this
you will achieve more in your meetings and everyone should be satisfied
 The agenda is usually prepared by the Secretary and Chairperson
  Informal groups can use a whiteboard to write out their agenda
  When preparing a written agenda include the location and
commencement time of the meeting. Include the anticipated closing
time
  Use descriptive headings, indicating what is to be discussed with each
item. No issue should be raised without a recommended course of
action as this will assist the committee to think about solutions
  Ensure a logical flow from one item to the next. A review of the
previous meetings agenda can ensure continuity and follow up. If an
item was previously under Other Business , in a subsequent meeting
it will be listed under Business Arising on the agenda.
 Intersperse difficult items with quick, simple or pleasant tasks. Dont
leave important decisions until last
 No agenda item should take longer than 20 minutes. If it looks like
going over this time then either defer until later in the meeting or take
a shortbreak. If you do have a break always adjourn the meeting. The
optimum time for a meeting is two hours or less.
 Identify persons responsible for items or information. Note their
initials in brackets and notify them of their part in the meeting and any
follow up required.
  Send the agenda several days prior to the meeting with any
additionalbackground notes to assist decision making. This helps the
meetingmove faster.
  Leave space for notes against each item
