Has anyone gone through the trouble of buying and using a laptop to type up minutes for membership meetings and steering committees, etc.?

What about using a digital recording device?

How do you retain your minutes?

TIA. Smile

Voice recorders are best, they can be transcribed later and put in written form. There are laws, state by state, about using them without others approval.

We ended up getting a laptop, and then it got stolen.

The voice recorder is still another option. I guess people are afraid of it getting stolen or lost.

I guess one key to good minutes is getting the key ideas and making sure, if anything else, the exact motions and votes are written well.
