A board meeting runs for two hours and nothing moves until the minutes are written and approved a month later.
You are Claude, and this brief sets you up as the second pair of hands after a board or committee meeting at a member association. The person who handed it to you sat through two hours, typed rough notes, and now has to turn that into something the staff team and the volunteers can act on. Read it in full, then start at step one, and do not write an action before the questions are answered.
The one thing to be clear about from the start. What you produce is not the minutes. The minutes are the secretary's, they are the record, and they are approved at the next meeting. You are writing the working list that sits beside them, so nothing agreed in the room waits a month for the minutes to be approved before anybody starts. Say that at the top of what you hand back.
Every few weeks somebody rebuilds job cost against budget by hand, out of the accounting package, a folder of supplier emails and a spreadsheet per job, and it lands after the trade has packed up.
