What is a record of the discussions at a staff meeting called?

The term used to describe a record of the discussions that take place during a staff meeting is called "minutes." Minutes serve as an official written account of what was discussed, decisions made, and any assigned tasks or actions that arose from the meeting. They are essential for keeping all participants informed and for providing a reference for those who were unable to attend. Additionally, minutes can help in tracking the progress of projects or commitments made during the meeting.

In contrast, a summary captures the main ideas but may lack the specific details typically included in minutes. An agenda is a list of topics or items to be discussed at a meeting, not a record of the discussions themselves. Bullet points are simply a formatting style and do not inherently provide comprehensive records of meeting discussions.
