Copy These 👉 5 Meeting Agenda Template Google Docs

With our free Google Doc templates, you can quickly and easily create a meeting agenda.

We have a variety of styles of templates to choose from. Each has a professional look and feel, and you can customize each with your meeting’s agenda and company brand.

Why meeting agendas are important

Even the most basic meeting agenda is instrumental in making a meeting a good use of your time. By having an agenda, all meeting participants know what you expect of them.

As you fill out your meeting agenda, here are some tips to make it even more helpful:

Use action verbs in your agenda.

Instead of noting something nondescript like “Hiring discussion” explain what should happen. E.g., “Discuss whether to hire another marketer this quarter.”

Agendas should be as short as possible, but as long as necessary.

If you find your agenda is going on for multiple pages, it sounds like you have some information to share BEFORE the meeting. Move that content to another doc and send it as something to review pre-meeting.

Share your agenda Google Doc in advance of the meeting.

Send your agenda to participants at least one day before the meeting. That way, they can organize their thoughts around any critical discussion topics. Better yet, ask participants to fill in bullet points for sections where they will be contributing to the meeting.

• Normal Text
• Title
• Heading 1
• Heading 2

Hover over the triangle on the side and click ‘Update Heading 2 to match.’ Now all of the text using that same style will be reformatted in your Google Doc.

How Fellow helps you with meeting agendas in ways that Google Docs can’t
