2. Learn How To Improve Meetings Going Forward

The best way to make your meetings better and inclusive is to ask people who regularly attend your meetings how the meetings are going. 

Send out a quick survey every once in a while, where people indicate what is going well, not so well, and ideas for improvement and making meetings more inclusive.  

Then, learn, reflect, and try some new things.

Asking people for their input is the ultimate act of stewardship. 

Is it possible to achieve meeting perfection? Probably not. But with intentionality you can turn your meetings into efficient, engaging and inclusive events.

While you can’t control other’s meetings, you control your own. You can make excellent meeting choices. You can demonstrate stewardship. You can be the example that you hope others will follow in promoting inclusion.
