Before you respond
- What does the group need before the meeting?
- What needs to happen for the task to be done?
- Who can help if you get stuck?
Work through it
- Ask the meeting organizer which small task they need help with.
- Find out how much time it will take, what you’ll need and who can help.
- Agree on when you’ll check in, and let them know if the plan changes.
Consider a possible response
“I can help get the meeting materials ready. What do we need, and when should I have them finished?”
This is one way to respond. Adapt it to your group, your responsibilities and the people involved.
