Agenda templates

In order to make creating new meeting agendas much more efficient, MyCommittee provides the option to create up to three agenda templates.

An agenda template is just an empty agenda structure containing all sections and recurring (standing) items that are on your typical meeting agenda. Each time you create a new meeting, the agenda wizard will automatically create an agenda using your default agenda template as a model. Once your meeting is created, you can freely edit the agenda and can add and remove sections as required.

If you have more than one agenda template, (E.g. one for monthly meetings and one for annual meetings) you can switch between templates on the agenda page after the meeting is created. Click on ‘Change or upload agenda’ and select the template you want to use for this meeting.

MyCommittee provides a few sample templates to get you started.

Any changes you make to an agenda template won't affect existing meeting agendas. The template is only used as a model when you create a new meeting.

You can manage agenda templates under: Committee settings → Agendas → Agenda templates

Frequently asked questions

How can I change my default agenda template?

There are a few ways to change the agenda template. In the Committee settings - Format section, click on 'Agenda template' to open the Agenda template manager.

Edit the existing template
If your current template already more or less has the structure you need and you only need to make minor changes, choose the 'Edit' tab of the template manager. On this tab you can edit the template in the same way you would edit an agenda in the Agenda wizard. You add and delete sections and add and delete agenda items.
Replace the entire template
Your committee might use a much more structured agenda for regular meetings than the standard mycommittee template and it might be easier to replace the existing template entirely. There are a few options to do this:

Choose a different sample template: mycommittee also provides a 'Small board template' which has more structure and can be used as a start for board agendas. Simply select this template and switch to the Edit tab to make changes
Copy the agenda template from another committee: If your organization is using a more standard approach, you can copy the template from an existing committee. Once copied, you can still make any changes in the Edit tab.
Create your own template from scratch: This option will simply delete your current template and switch to the Edit tab so you can start to build your own template.
