Roles of Ordinary Meeting Members for Enhanced Communication in Society

Resumen

Communication is very vital to the existence of human beings who in turn coexist in societies where they form themselves into various unions and associations which engage meeting as the means of communication for the achievement of their goals and the satisfaction of their needs. Hence the need to take quality decisions for the good of all at meetings but it seems that majority of oor members of meetings don't realise that they have equal stake in decision-making and so put up many negative attitudes towards meetings. The aim of this paper is to let such oor members know that without them executive committee members may not take the best informed decisions at meetings for the common good. Using a survey research design by perusing empirical data it was found out that ordinary or oor members of meetings are not just required to form a quorum but have many other very key functions like ratifying the decisions of executive committee members, proposing motions, debating on motions and voting to decide motions among many others all of which are being affected by their rather negative attitude. The conclusion of the paper is that oor members must put away all their negative attitudes in order to aid executive committee members come up with the best possible decisions at meetings since they are equal stakeholders and also joint beneciaries of the decisions that are reached by being punctual to meetings remaining to the end, contributing actively to every decision making process among other responsibilities.
