Sick kids, doctor\u2019s appointments, school events, family vacations, and other scheduling conflicts will often make it necessary for one or more of your women\u2019s ministry team members to miss a meeting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just last month I had to miss our meeting due to a previous commitment to chaperone a Youth trip.<\/p>\n

I know first-hand that feeling of being \u201cout of the loop\u201d!<\/p>\n

Today I\u2019m sharing some quick and easy tips for keeping absent team members in the loop.<\/h4>\n

The time it takes to keep your missing team members in the loop is well worth it!<\/p>\n

Team members that feel they were missed will feel their presence is valuable!<\/h4>\n

\"Let<\/p>\n

Here are 5 ways you can keep those absent team members in the loop:<\/h4>\n

1. Meeting Minutes <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ladies this is critical. Minutes clear up any confusion for both your present and absent team members.<\/p>\n

2. Phone Calls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both BEFORE and AFTER the meeting. Get their opinion on agenda topics and touch base after they receive the minutes to answer any questions.<\/p>\n

3. Agendas <\/strong><\/p>\n

Members can\u2019t share information if they don\u2019t know what will be discussed. It\u2019s no fun to sit at a meeting to find out your missing member has key information about an event that could have been procured in advance. (Be sure to read my post on Meeting Agendas<\/a>. Do your best to have minutes distributed within three days of your meeting.)<\/p>\n

5. Text<\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on their scheduling conflict, they may be available via text during your meeting. Ask if you can text them if questions come up. If their participation is critical, see if they can call into the meeting and put them on speaker phone for that portion.<\/p>\n

6. Schedule Coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on the size of your church you may only see your team members at your women\u2019s ministry team meetings. Don\u2019t let another month go by without spending some time with that missing team member. Meet her for coffee and spend some time with her. It doesn\u2019t have to be all business \u2013 in fact, it shouldn\u2019t be. Meetings are also about building relationships and praying for one another.<\/p>\n

Missing team members don\u2019t have to slow your team\u2019s progress if you\u2019re proactive.<\/h4>\n

Keeping missing team members in the loop doesn\u2019t just ensure your meeting will run efficiently – \u00a0when your team members are informed they know how they can:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Help<\/li>\n
  2. Pray<\/li>\n
  3. Share<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your team members have great ideas, connections, knowledge, and resources \u2013 keep them in the loop and the whole team benefits!<\/h4>\n
