Practical Reading and Writing: Agendas and Minutes --- Book 4 Unit 8 9. Practical Reading: Agendas and Minutes A. Much of modern business involves meetings. There are many different meetings for example between suppliers and customers, managers and regulators, representatives of different companies, and also between members of staff within a company. They are held so that good working relationships can be developed, decisions can be made and problems solved. In offices and for formal meetings, an agenda is usually circulated to tell participants what will be discussed at the meeting. During the meeting, someone will take the minutes. The minutes are a written record of the main points raised, decisions made and action plans reached during the meeting. The minutes are circulated to all attendees soon after the meeting.
