I have written previously about facilitating meetings. Somewhat akin to that post would be the “effective” meeting I was in today. My boss had asked me about a month ago to attend in her absence in which I of course said yes. In doing so, I missed a team meeting of which I am the co-chair. But hey, when your boss asks you to do something, you make arrangements to do it. Since I was going in her place, I also was sure to wear a tie. For those of you who know me, you know that’s serious. Whenever I go to one of these high-powered meetings as a proxy I am sure to send notes to my boss. Below is a slightly altered version of what I sent her today:
Meeting began with attendees discussing whether we had an agenda or facilitator. After about 5 minutes of small talk it was determined that we had neither. Mary asked Jake about H1N1 cases on campus. Jake said we have had approximately 60 cumulative cases in which about 35 are active. Meeting adjourned.
Please Note: H1N1 cases on campus has nothing to do with the purpose of this committee.
