Meeting notes template

Good meeting notes lead with decisions and end with owners and dates. This template does both: decisions first, discussion in the middle, and action items as a checklist that prints with its checkboxes. Edit it below and send the PDF to everyone who was not in the room.

Notes people actually read

  • Decisions first

    Most readers only need what was decided. Put it at the top.

  • One owner per action

    An action shared by everyone is done by no one — name a person and a date.

  • Tick what is done

    - [x] prints a ticked box, - [ ] an empty one.

Questions

Do the checkboxes print?

Yes: ticked items print with a ticked box and open items with an empty one.
