Better Meetings, Motions and Minutes – Warden

What really needs to be in The Minutes, and what doesn’t?  How does a governing group communicate a “Must Do” vs. a discussion that is an end unto itself?

Is your board or committee recording everything everyone said to help the missing members?  Bet you have trouble finding someone to take a turn as secretary as well as having members commit to showing up for meetings!

Using these 5 simple rules-of-thumb will help any group produce more user-friendly minutes, and build consensus, in less time than it takes now. 

Participants: Chairs, secretaries and all serving members on volunteer and professional decision making bodies.  No prior experience with Roberts Rules of Order expected.

Carolyn WardenCarolyn Warden has experienced CU operations from all sides of the management desk. She started in the visitor’s chair as an NCUA examiner.

Quickly she learned that if she really wanted to know what she was talking about she needed to switch to the other side of the desk. She has been CEO & CFO of four credit unions with assets ranging from medium to super-sized.

She was under the desk for a while, pulling cables as a trouble shooter and education director for a large CU data processing firm. Somehow she found the time to be Director of Research and Information for the NJCUL, and co-author a number of books and articles about credit unions.

Carolyn has taught CUNA Schools, for numerous leagues and did a stint in Eastern Europe for the World Council of CUs. Her credit union clients range from new charters to over $1 billion in assets, and are located from New York City to Alaska and Hawaii. She coaches her clients through challenging changes by providing information and identifying options, as well as training them to implement change with minimal stress and lots of fun!
