Steps to Distribute Meeting Materials:

1. Prepare the Meeting Materials

• Gather Documents:
  Collect all reports, presentations, handouts, and any other documents that will be used in the meeting.
  • Reports: Financial reports, progress updates, and policy papers.
  • Presentations: Slides or other visual aids to support key discussion points.
  • Handouts: Any documents participants will need to refer to during the meeting (e.g., policy drafts, project proposals).
• Ensure Accuracy: Double-check that all documents are final versions, clearly formatted, and free of errors.
• Organize Materials: Label and organize materials by session or agenda item, ensuring that they are easy to follow during the meeting.

2. Choose the Distribution Method

• Digital Distribution:
  The most efficient way to distribute materials is via email or file-sharing platforms (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, or SayPro’s internal system). Ensure the files are accessible to all participants, especially if they are large.
  • Email: Attach documents directly to the email or provide links to shared folders.
  • File-Sharing Platform: Share a link to a shared folder where all the materials can be accessed.
• Physical Distribution (if applicable):
  If some participants require hard copies (especially for in-person meetings), arrange for printing and distribution ahead of the meeting.

3. Distribute Materials in a Timely Manner

• Set a Distribution Deadline:
  Ensure that all materials are distributed at least 3-5 days before the meeting (by January 17, 2025) to give participants ample time to review the materials.
• Distribute Materials:
  • Send an email or post in the shared folder with the subject line indicating that the materials are available.
  • Include instructions for accessing the documents and emphasize the importance of reviewing the materials ahead of the meeting.
