Meeting and facilitation evaluation: Meeting was longer than in the past. Some branching out, losing focus, not knowing whose turn it was to talk. Stop Reiterating points! Don’t repeat points that have already been made. New attendees were impressed by the structure and productivity. Some points could have been discussed outside of the meeting. A lot was accomplished, meeting went a little long because of topics being discussed.
