Help for NENA-ADM-008 Agenda and Notes Form

The NENA-ADM-008 Draft Agenda and Notes form is used for NENA meetings to prepare the proposed agenda and to document the essential results of the meeting.

The person preparing the agenda completes the fields shown in salmon/tan/orange and the meeting's note taker completes the sections in light blue. The note taker should distribute the form as soon as possible after the meeting to serve as DRAFT notes/minutes.

The form is distributed with formatting restricted to a limited number of styles.
