HOW MEETINGS WORK

PEOPLE FIRST

1. Make sure that everyone knows when and where the meetings are.
2. Make sure the advisor knows what their role is.
3. Have a Board Meeting to plan the general meetings
4. Find ways to get everyone involved
5. Make sure that everyone understands what goes on in the meetings, and what is talked about.
6. Make sure that the discussions are real and important to the members during the meeting.
7. Make a 3 to 6 month plan with the group, so that people will be working toward something
8. Make sure the meetings are fun.
9. Face any problems the group is having. They won’t just go away, without work.
10. Attend People First meetings for ideas and suggestions. The purpose of People First is to help all of the chapters grow.

All People First chapters follow parliamentary procedure. The steps of the business portion of the meeting should be the same, nationwide.
