The Rhodia Meeting Book
The Rhodia Meeting Book is a unique notebook. 
The design was created by the CEO of Clairefontaine Rhodia, Jean-Marie Nusse, to help him keep track of decisions and plans–and the discussion behind them–from all his meetings. The pages are pre-printed with Date, Notes + Action. They are both a record and working document.
In my position as board secretary for East End Lighthouses, I have shifted over from a standard Rhodia pad to the Meeting Book to take notes for Board minutes. It does help me keep track of all the various inquiries, requests and projects different board members have volunteered to take on and complete by the next meeting.
One person who tried and liked the Meeting Book described it to me in this way: “My life is all about meeting lately, and having the notes at hand with action items organized is really critical. ”
“I like that it stays flat,” she said, “or I can fold it over on the binding to save room on the table, if necessary. I really appreciate how the notes and action items are separated so that your action items stand out at a glance and you don’t have to read back through all your notes to find those critical items.”
