A monthly meeting agenda is a document that catalogs relevant discussion items for businesses, organizations, and teams. Monthly meetings are common across all industries and are governed by a chairperson who is responsible for moving through the list at hand and addressing each agenda item. A secretary will record monthly meeting minutes, and both the agenda and minutes require a signature of approval from the chairperson and secretary.
