My Right Hand Helper

This is a great reference book for those of us taking meeting minutes! It contains lots of useful information at my fingertips. I particularly liked the "How To Say It" section. No more overusing the same words for me. My minutes sound much more professional now. Great Find!

A Great Companion for Meetings!

I purchased this book many years ago after graduating from college. My degree was in office administration and there were no training courses or discussions regarding taking minutes at meetings. I had landed a job that required taking minutes at various board, committee, task force meetings (out of town and locally). The book was very helpful to me in terms of how to take minutes, organizing my minutes on paper, and avoiding redundancy (especially using the "How to Say It" section). I received many compliments on my ability to take "good" minutes. It's been over ten years since I've had that job. I now have another job where I am required to take minutes. At first, I was a little panic stricken because I had not taken minutes in over ten years. Then I remembered this book that had been so helpful to me in the past and starting referring to it once again. It is a very valuable resource for anyone taking minutes.

A Great Companion for Meetings!

I purchased this book immediate after I graduated from college with a business degree in Office Administration and did not know how to take minutes at the major meetings that I was required to attend on the job. This book has done wonders for me and I've received many compliments because of the way I have prepared my minutes using this book(especially the phrases suggested in "How to Say It"). It is a "must have" reference for anyone taking minutes.
