How to become a recording secretary
Familiarize yourself with the responsibilities and duties of a recording secretary.
During a meeting, the recording secretary records attendance and takes notes about the issues discussed, both on and off the agenda. When meeting attendees vote on a matter, the votes are recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
