Who this list is for

This checklist is designed for office coordinators or administrative staff tasked with preparing a board meeting room for up to 12 participants. It focuses on the physical setup and supply organization needed on the day of the meeting—not on agenda planning or content preparation.

How to use this list

Arrive early to allow enough time for all setup steps. Work through the list item by item, placing materials at each seat and checking off supplies as you go. Double-check counts for items like agendas, pens, and glasses to match the expected headcount, with a couple of extras for guests or last-minute additions.

People often overlook details like placing name cards or forget to set out enough printed agendas. Don’t skip confidential document covers if sensitive materials are present. Water glasses and bottles should be filled and ready at each place. Avoid running out of pens or notepads—bring a few spares.

What is on this list

Set out 12 water glasses and bottles, 12 coffee cups, a full coffee supply, and 20 tea bags. All items are for single-use at the meeting and should be neatly arranged before attendees arrive.

Day-of walk-through

Before the meeting starts, place the reserved sign outside the room. Arrange seats with name cards, agendas, board papers, document covers, pens, and notepads. Distribute water, coffee, and tea supplies. Check that everything is in order, then do a final walk-through to remove any leftover clutter or unnecessary items. Your goal is a tidy, well-supplied, professional setting that helps the meeting run smoothly.
