Having a pre-defined format for meeting minutes will make it easier for meeting members and other interested parties to find the meeting results they need. Using the pre-defined minute format on word-processing software can speed the production of meeting records. To speed the minute distribution process, use email attachments of the word-processing software rather than paper copies.

“Keep things informal. Talking is the natural way to do business. Writing is great for keeping records and putting down details, but talk generates ideas. Great things come from our luncheon meetings which consist of a sandwich, a cup of soup, and a good idea or two. No martinis.” - T. Boone Pickens
