So, What are the Secretary Duties and Responsibilities?
Let’s start off with the basic duties of a secretary. These duties come with the job and have to be dealt with, without fail. • Schedule meetings – This includes informing the respective members about the meeting and taking confirmations about the same. The secretary needs to prepare the memos for informing the required members as well. • Prepare agenda – A meeting without an agenda is a disaster. All secretaries need to know that. The agenda needs to be created by the secretary on the basis of the issues that need to be discussed.
