How to Run a Meeting

Looking to sharpen your skills at running a meeting at Follen? You’ve come to the right place!

A terrific training session was held on Sept. 18, 2022. You can view a video of the full Zoom session (It runs about two hours). and you can also view the slide deck.

In addition, Brian provided some further support documents:

• Some written guidance on running meetings at Follen.
• A template for minutes.
• A sample policy for email voting. Although email voting is allowed under the church bylaws, each committee (or governing body) every year must adopt a specific policy spelling out when and how email voting will take place.
• A template for a long-term proxy that committee members can use if they expect to miss a lot of meetings. And
• a template for a one-meeting proxy that committee members can use if they are going to miss one meeting, but want their vote recorded.

If you have any questions – or if you have any corrections or additions to any of the above – please email nominating@follen.org.
