Having a Good Meeting

Norms
It is imperative to establish standards. It allows the ASO have expectations of each other that can be upheld. One of the most important aspects of standards is that they are mutually agreed upon, as in everyone has to agree sometimes takes some time. Typically you would ask the ASO what they think is important to conduct an effective meeting and fill up a white board and then refine. Make sure to have the agreed upon norms easily available.

Here are some examples of meeting norms
 * Cabrillo Colleges ASCC Student Senate
