Where can you find samples of meeting minutes?

ManagementHelp.org and the website of the U.S. General Services Administration, GSA.gov, both have samples of meeting minutes. Google Docs' public templates database also has a template for generating meeting minutes available for download.

Meeting minutes are a written account of a meeting or hearing, usually intended for use by those who were not in attendance or as a reminder at the next meeting of what was previously discussed. Minutes generally begin with an account of who attended or was absent, including an optional note about who served as the meeting's chair. A list of topics that were discussed at the meeting follows, and the notes often include what was said by attendees.
