Secretary takes and prepares the Minutes, and Archivist files them in an orderly manner as part of the documentation of the community. In our Department, the senior secretary is assigned to prepare the agenda, take and prepare the Minutes, and Archive them after the meeting at which they are approved. In Faculty Senate, one person is elected to this position with three responsibilities. This is an organizational problem for you to solve. <P> <A NAME="agendaformat"><H3>Agenda Format</H3></A> Header: Meeting Name, place, date/time <BR> <UL> <LI>Call to Order by Moderator <P> <LI>Review and Approve MINUTES of Previous Meeting <P> <LI>Chair's Report / Announcements (Moderator, Base Commander, and/or DrR) <P> <LI>Call for any ammendments to Adenga <P> <LI> Adenda Items: <P> <OL> <LI> Next Four Task Forces <br> 1.
