An agenda should include the purpose of the meeting, date/time/location, attendees, minutes from the previous meeting, review of actions from the previous meeting, correspondence, reports, general business, and date/time of the next meeting. When preparing a full agenda, put items in the right order, circulate and send background information in advance, agree on time limits, be wary of general "other business" items, and leave space between items for note taking.
