Ain't that the truth?? We moved to a consent agenda 2 years ago, and it has saved a ton of time in meetings.

It's a double-edged sword (you don't want to miss something important), but they sure do save time.

The team all gets fair warning 3 days out that if they don't speak up with questions/concerns, we'll vote on all routine matters en masse at the meeting.

Now, something that used to take nearly 2 hours of meeting time is over and done with in less than 2 minutes (and we can move on to bigger fish...).

CincyCat,

It has always amazed me how much time can be consumed by minor items if care is not taken.
