Before & After the Meeting: Tips on Planning and Next Steps
DATE: Thursday, June 20
TIME: 10:30 am — 12:00 pm
LOCATION: South Hall Room 202, UC Berkeley
An effective meeting doesn’t start and end in the conference room — there are key steps in preparation and follow-up that ensure we come to our meetings prepared and leave with clear plans of action. For this session, staff colleagues Layla Naranjo and Aimee Dandrea will share their expertise on the life cycle of meeting preparation: drafting an agenda, following up, and preparing for the next meeting. This will be an interactive workshop with an opportunity to practice your agenda-drafting skills and develop an action plan for next steps.
