Minutes Made Easy is a basic skills course designed for people who are responsible for preparing minutes for any type of business meetings. The course covers basic such as:
why accurate meeting minutes are important, what goes in the minutes, what does not go in the minutes, and how minutes are formatted.

Beyond the basics, though, this course also provides specific advice for many situations that secretaries and members of minutes approval committees are unsure how to represent, such as: the results of voice, ballot, roll-call, and other types of votes, items involving extensive debate, guest speakers, and special meetings.

The course describes options and procedures for the distribution, review, correction, and approval of minutes—and how to preserve the minutes as a permanent record of the organization.
