What is an agenda

The agenda is a list of matters to be discussed at the meeting.

• The agenda is often sent to members together with the notice of the meeting so that the members know what the meeting will be about.- Reading the agenda at the start of a meeting will suffice.
• The secretary talks to the chairperson and then writes the agenda.
• The chairperson may only change the order of the agenda when the members at the meeting agree to it.
• Any item in the minutes of the previous meeting that still needs further discussion, should receive attention under "matters arising from the minutes".
• The agenda should make provision for the treasurer (or the secretary/treasurer) to report on the finances of the committee, under an item called "Financial Report".
