The purpose of the business meeting is to conduct the routine business of the ASPIRA Club or ACF.  For a positive and productive meeting you need to define the purpose of the meeting. The Officers of the Club will need to develop an Agenda with clearly defined outcomes.   Agendas keep each meeting flowing smoothly, helping club members to be more productive. Moreover, productive meetings allow for sharing the responsibility for the Club meeting by working with other officers.
 
During the Business Meeting, the role of the Club President is to enable the team to work through the agenda and to agree on actions. The President should guide the discussion and make sure that the discussion is related to the agenda items and ensure that people know and understand the outcomes agreed upon before they are recorded.
