Meetings can help to get things done as a group that cannot or should not be done alone. Meetings can help identify issues and set goals, provide people with information through presentation or reports, assign responsibilities for particular things, and identify new volunteers. Meetings are the place to make decisions that affect everyone. Meetings can also be social events and a chance to get to know one another better. The best meetings are those that make people feel that they got something by coming, such as information, ideas, support, or a plan. A good meeting lets people know they have something to do when they leave, like recruit new members, make phone calls, or go door-knocking. Also the best meetings will make people want to come back to the next one. People will not come back to meetings if they feel they are a waste of time. Avoid meetings that will scare people away, plan your meetings very carefully.
