Effective Board Meeting Minutes
Learn how to optimise your board documentation processes to better facilitate an effective board.
Nick Venter is a former journalist turned public servant with a long interest in effective communication. The Effective Board Meeting Minutes course draws on the lessons he has learned minuting board and board committee meetings.
“In my experience,” he says “minute taking is an art not a science. There isn’t a simple template that can be applied to produce good minutes. However, there are some basic guidelines that can be followed to produce clear, concise meeting records that show boards have met their legal obligations. And clear, concise minutes facilitate good decision-making and build board trust and confidence in organisations.
Nick’s previous roles including managing the Board and Ministerial Services team at Fire and Emergency New Zealand, managing public service communications and media teams, advising a prime minister and serving as political editor of the Dominion Post.
