Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North – How to Run Effective Meetings

Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North, in partnership with the Wakefield Regional Council and the Yorke Peninsula Council, is running a workshop designed to help you run effective meetings.

This practical, hands-on workshop will give you the tools, structure and confidence to run meetings that are focused, efficient and outcome-driven.

In this interactive session, you will learn how to:

• Design agendas that drive decisions (not just discussion)
• Keep conversations on track and manage dominant voices
• Handle motions, amendments and voting with confidence
• Record minutes that are clear, compliant and useful
• Track actions so things actually get done
• Manage conflicts of interest and quorum issues properly

Participants will practice rebuilding messy agendas, drafting strong motions, minute-taking in real time, and participating in a live meeting simulation based on a realistic community scenario . You won’t just talk about good meetings — you’ll experience what they look and feel like.

Perfect for committee members, Chairs, secretaries, board members and community leaders, this workshop is practical, engaging and immediately applicable.

Walk away with ready-to-use scripts, templates and techniques you can apply at your very next meeting.
