Problem: Article: If you have a shareholders meeting, you must notify all shareholders. If you are holding a director's meeting, then you must notify all directors. Both shareholders and directors may waive the notice requirement. However, they should have signed a waiver form. Look to see if any have and provide proper notice to those that haven't. Every attendee will need the same set of information so that they can make an informed vote at the meeting. You should create a packet of information and distribute. Include the following: the minutes from the prior meeting reports or documents to review before the meeting As the person taking the notes, you should decide how you want to write them down in the meeting. Generally, people still write notes in longhand, though you can use a laptop. If you use a laptop, then any drafts will be stored electronically. This means someone can retrieve them in a lawsuit. Accordingly, you should think carefully before taking minutes using a computer. The clicking of the computer keys is also distracting, which you should keep in mind. Ask your Chair whether they prefer you take minutes in longhand or with a laptop.
Summary: Notify the correct people of the meeting. Distribute meeting packets. Select your writing implement.

Problem: Article: If you want to create the impression of a narrative between your photos, place photos from oldest to newest going from your left to right. This order works well for wedding photos or family photo albums, since the viewer will be able to see a progression of events as they go from image to image. For example, if you have a sequence of photos from a graduation, put the photos of the student getting ready and putting their robes on at the beginning. End the sequence with the photos of the graduation party or dinner. This creates a narrative sequence that makes the context of each individual photo easy to understand for the viewer. If you glance quickly at a photo, you'll get an immediate impression based on the dominant color that stands out in the image. A landscape may be mostly green, while a bright red sweater could dominate a portrait. Put complementary colors together so that your photos look striking and work well together as a uniform group. To find complementary colors, look at a color wheel. Find a color and look at the color range on the opposite side of the wheel. These are complementary colors. The pairs include orange and blue, green and violet, and dark green and red. The color of the frame contributes to the impression that a group of pictures creates. Stick to neutral blacks, whites, and grays if you have a colorful set of images. Group photos based on subject matter if you want your arrangement to represent an idea or present multiple perspectives of an event. For example, you may want to place a group of portraits or family photos on the same wall together to create a consistent viewing experience. Similarly, you can group landscape or city shots together so that the viewer's eye isn't distracted by different subjects. If you want to showcase a variety of different pieces, pick photos that are as different as possible to give the impression of a gallery collection. This will encourage a viewer to look at each image as a separate, autonomous piece, and will create strange juxtapositions between images. Use different styles of frames to accentuate the differences between images on a gallery wall, and play around with the order of images to generate strange and interesting combinations. Place the most visually striking and unique images in a group at the beginning and end of a sequence, even if you have to change the chronological order. This will leave a lasting impression for anyone viewing the photos by starting and ending on a strong note. For example, if you're putting a sequence of baby photos together, put a funny or striking image of the newborn baby making a goofy face at the beginning. Place a touching photo of the first day of kindergarten at the end to leave the sequence on an emotional note.
Summary: Order pictures chronologically to create a timeline of an event. Sort images based on color combinations in the compositions. Arrange photos by subject matter to keep a uniform theme. Use a variety of different photos to create an informal gallery wall. Punctuate a group of images by making the first and last stand out.

Problem: Article: Reread your cover letter and resume to remind yourself of what you have already foregrounded on paper. Highlight items that you would like to mention specifically or summarize in your introduction. Identify the most important skills that the employer is looking for and make notes of these so that you can incorporate them into your introduction. Mentioning these things will remind employers of why they selected your resume and it will help intensify their sense that you are a good fit for the job. Be honest and be yourself, but there is nothing wrong with highlighting the aspects of your professional experience that your potential employers will be most interested in. Thinking about what your potential employer will want to hear will also help you to decide what to leave out or minimize in your introduction. To develop your introduction and figure out what you should include, ask yourself some questions. Who are you? Why do you want to work for this company? What skills and professional experiences do you have that qualify you to work here? What do you hope to accomplish in your career? Write out your answers to these questions and use them to help craft your introduction. You might start with something like, "I recently graduated from ____ with a degree in ____" If you have any honors, slip those into this opening line as well. If you are a seasoned professional, you might try "I have been working as a ____ for ___ years." You could also provide a little personal information in your introduction, such as "I am an avid ____ musician and music lover." After your opening, talk about your skills. Say something like, "I excel at ____ and ____." And then, offer an example of a project you worked on that demonstrates your skills in this area. Finally, mention your career goals and offer a transition into the conversation about how you might work on those goals within the company. Say "My goal is to ____ and I am excited to discuss how your company might offer me opportunities to ____." Get creative and think of a way to start your introduction that will help your interviewers remember you. Choose something that fits who you are. For example, if you love to read you might start by saying that you identify with a famous literary character and then explain why by listing your skills. Or if you are extremely tech savvy and want to highlight that aspect of your skill set, you might begin by mentioning what comes up when you Google yourself and use then provide more details about yourself and your skill set. To make sure that you will remember all of your key points, turn your notes into a paragraph long (3-5 sentences) introduction. Write your introduction out exactly how you plan to say it. Start by providing basic details about yourself (who are you?), then move into details about your professional skills and experiences, and then finish by briefly stating your major career goals. This last part is especially important because it is your opportunity to tell your interviewer why you'd be a good fit for the job without saying it so explicitly. Revise your introduction paragraph to see what might need simplification or clarification. Your introduction should be concise, yet thorough. Remember, your potential employer is not looking for a ten minute presentation about you, just a quick overview of who you are.
Summary:
Review your application materials. Review the job posting. Think about what they might want to hear about you. Ask yourself some questions. Decide on an attention grabbing way to start your introduction. Write out your introduction. See what you can simplify and/or clarify.
