[Ohio-talk] Reading Minutes at Meetings

[Deborah Kendrick]

Rob,
For some time now, we in the Cincinnati chapter have distributed minutes via email, and then approved them at the meetings.
For those few who do not use computers, others are sharing with them.
Hope this helps.
Deborah (president of Cincinnati chapter)

RobbYThis us Karen I was secretary for years for our chapter I do believe it is necessary to read the minutes you forget not everyone has a computer and they still deserve just as much information as the next person I do believe minutes need to be very thorough this to me is just all about keeping good recordsWhen I did minutes we had an introduction with a prayer then old business new business telephone report entertainment report as well  just an example for u Wanda Sloan has problems with a computer as I type so individuals like her would never hear the minutes unless you read them aloud at the meeting Thank you,Karen Noles

Hello all:

 

I am now the Secretary for the NFB of the Greater Miami Chapter in Dayton.
I am curious to know if Secretaries of chapters around the state are reading
their minutes at each meeting.  I personally feel like this is an
unnecessary practice since we send the minutes out via email and I maintain
that it is the responsibility of each member to read the minutes themselves.
Plus, I'd like to use our time more effectively.  I write pretty detailed
minutes.  While I do not write out everything that is said, I do provide
enough information so that someone who was unable to attend can get a very
good idea of what was discussed at the meeting.  That being said, however, I
do understand that there are some people who may not have access to email.
My thought was to put this as a question before our chapter but I was asked
to do some research on it first.  So, please let me know what you think!

 

Thanks,

Robby
