A 1-page meeting minutes template is a simple outline of the contents and conversations of a short meeting. The template sets out basic items to be discussed with room on the document to enter the discussion and what was agreed upon. If votes are required, they should be written in the minutes for official recording.

Formatting (7 parts)
I. Meeting Details
Document the “where and when.” List the date, time, meeting location, and the secretary and chairperson’s name.
II. Roll Call
List all meeting attendees and note absences.
III. Call to Order
Calling to “order” brings the attendees to focus and formally kicks off the meeting. During the call to order, the previous meeting minutes should be approved as well as the meeting agenda.
IV. Old Business
Matters that were cut short in previous meetings or any issues that have not been closed out should be revisited, completed and documented.
V. New Business
Discuss new matters, issues and reports.
VI. Other Items
Dialogue on other items, such as upcoming meetings and events.
VII. Adjournment
Note the meeting’s end time and sign (both secretary and chairperson).
