Joe has some very good points!

I totally agree with writing it out if that is what you are more comfortable with. (I just actually type faster then i write, so... it makes sense for me to type)

Reviewing the notes with everyone can be important, especially if you are the only person taking notes, or are the person in charge of the meeting. A note about being in charge of the meeting: when I am actually running a meeting, I sometimes find it hard to run the meeting effectivly and take notes too, which is why I have a secretary for me in Student Council and NHS! Maybe ask somone who is good at writing and who you trust to do the writing for you, and be sure to have them sit next to you so you can point out specific things for them to write, and so you can quickly check back over stuff that has already been written.

I think, again, what most of this boils down to is what you are most comfortable with! Have fun!
