The Meeting: Four Major Roles

The Meeting: Four Major Roles

Traditionally, there are four major roles that can be filled in a meeting and each contributes value in an integral way:

The leader: This person convenes the meeting and leads the discussion on all major agenda items.

The timekeeper: This person keeps the meeting on track by allocating time to each agenda item.

The facilitator: This person keeps the discussion going by encouraging attendees to contribute and ensuring all items on the agenda are covered.

The recorder (scribe): This person takes notes on the items discussed as the meeting progresses and on the solutions reached.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green
