Chairing meetings
The role of the meeting chairperson is often played by the club/federation
president, but this does not need to be the case. It will depend on the type of
meeting. The president usually chairs annual general meetings and the person
who knows most about the topic being discussed often chairs subcommittee
meetings.
The role of the chairperson is very important in the effective control of any meeting.
The chair should:
• direct the overall business and behaviour
• control the timing of the meeting
• control the order of speakers
• keep the discussion on track
• decide when the discussion should finish
• summarise frequently.
