Meeting minutes are not just a formality — they are a crucial part of maintaining the integrity and transparency of your government institution. They serve as an official record of decisions and discussions, helping to drive your mission forward and keep all stakeholders informed.

However, we understand that the role of a clerk is both demanding and time-sensitive. That's why we've tailored this checklist to help you:

• Prepare effectively before each meeting with template and backup options ready for unexpected hiccups.
• Capture every essential detail during the meeting, how to track attendance, voting and record discussions accurately.
• Follow up efficiently after the meeting from draft to publication.
