  • Meeting Checklist

    • This is the meeting checklist you will use to set up your first three meetings. It is designed to make sure you develop good habits in meeting preparation.

  • Agenda

    • This is a template you can use for your committee meetings. Is is designed to include the elements described in the Meeting Checklist (#2).

  • Issue Journal

    • This is a document that describes scenarios you may encounter while starting up your program. It is by no means all-inclusive of the types of issues you will experience. The goal is for you to create a journal of your experiences as the program develops.
