For successful meetings, committee chairmen should use the following guidelines:
-
Have an agenda and start the meeting on time.
-
See that minutes are kept and distributed to all committee members.
-
Keep the meeting moving; encourage participation; keep remarks to the point.
-
Insist on order. Stop aimless discussion and side conversations.
-
Sum up a committee's findings and obtain a decision on the matter.
- Use parliamentary procedure as may be appropriate.
