How to Plan HOA Annual Meetings With These 9 Simple Tips Organize the Agenda. The agenda is the official plan for the meeting and should be focused and accurate. Set the Date. Start Planning Early. Ensure a Quorum. Give Notice Well Ahead of Time. Get the Word Out. Hold a Forum. Throw a Party.
Personal opinions and comments Meeting minutes should be objective and impartial. Avoid including personal opinions, judgments, or comments made by attendees, as these can skew the record and undermine the credibility of the minutes. Focus on recording objective facts, discussions, and decisions.
However, when you're organizing a typical HOA meeting, you should follow this agenda: Call to Order. Review of Last Meeting's Minutes. Committee Reports. Discussion About Any Unresolved Issues. Discussion About Any New Issues or Projects. Open Forum (Optional) ... Adjournment.
