Suggestions

Simple suggestions that I hope you will consider:

1. Better (IMO) meeting template:

2. Dedicated reading time in meetings, when relevant

3. Monthly email reminders dated two weeks before each meeting, including:

• A link to the last Agenda, to help your members remember what they need to be doing

• Reminder of Action Items

Cross-Council Google Drive

Navigate here to find your subteam’s Google Drive folder, should you need to access it. Some subteams use Google Drive a lot, some rarely. Guidance on when to use Confluence vs. Google drive is available here, though please note that the link may change.
