TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS, LOCAL ATTRACTIONS AND THE WEATHER FORECAST MAY ALL NEED TO BE CONSIDERED.

APPOINT SOMEONE TO BE IN CHARGE OF TAKING NOTES AND CAPTURING ANY AGREED ACTIONS DURING YOUR MEETING.
TAKE REGULAR BREAKS DURING YOUR MEETING TO GET PEOPLE MOVING AND HELP THEM STAY ALERT. THIS ALSO PROVIDES TIME FOR PEOPLE TO CHECK PHONES AND EMAIL.
ENCOURAGE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE MEETING ‐ THINK ABOUT HAVING A Q&A SESSION OR AN OPEN DISCUSSION DURING THE MEETING.
IF YOU ARE USING POWERPOINT, MAKE SURE YOUR SLIDES ARE VISUALLY INTERESTING AND EASY TO READ ‐ THE LESS WORDS ON A SLIDE THE BETTER.
