Which item in the standard order includes progress reports from leaders and committees?

• A. Roll/attendance
• B. Officer and committee reports
• C. Minutes approval
• D. Old business

Answer: (B)

Progress reports from leaders and committees are presented in the officer and committee reports section of a meeting. This part of the agenda is dedicated to updates from those leading the organization and each committee, sharing what has been accomplished since the last gathering, the current status of ongoing work, and what’s planned next or what decisions are needed. It’s the place for a concise snapshot of progress, responsibilities, and any support needed to move forward.

Roll/attendance is simply noting who is present at the meeting, not about updates on work. Minutes approval is the step where the record of the previous meeting is reviewed and approved. Old business refers to items that were previously discussed and are being revisited.
