A meeting moves at the speed of the slowest mind in the room. (In other words, all but one participant will be bored, all but one mind underused.)
Dale Dauten
People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.
Thomas Sowell
When I give a lecture, I accept that people look at their watches, but what I do not tolerate is when they look at it and raise it to their ear to find out if it stopped.
Marcel Achard
It is only six weeks until the next meeting. I doubt they will have to go between meetings. There is the probability of at least a (0.25 point) cut and more likely a (0.5 point) cut in June.
Carol Stone
It seems unbelievable that the IMF is now boldly undoing the debt deal…agreed at its own annual meetings in September.
Max Lawson
If he's truly interested in reducing parolee crime, he should show up and attend these meetings.
Russ Marlan
Talking to people who attend U.N. meetings does not mean the one is talking about U.N. matters. You can meet people who may be talking about developing markets in their countries.
Seth Goldschlager
The market for group meetings is underserved in Las Vegas.
Keith Smith
The least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings.
Thomas Sowell
I still plan to attend the city commission meetings and still pay attention to what is going on. I think we need to get citizens involved in city government. We need to know what is going on.
Raymond Thome
I believe that we had that understanding, and I will go to those meetings with that understanding.
Jinny Sims
It is not the end, just the beginning, but the homework is enormous, ... The summit itself ended, but many, many meetings, action and partnership programs must start.
Yoshio Utsumi
We've been attending meetings with the CDC. We're doing everything we can to make sure we are prepared.
Shannon Patten
You do feel like a child and the grown-ups won't let you in. There is not a tradition of the union sharing information at board meetings.
Lise Lareau
FDA believes meetings like this are essential to foster and cultivate the necessary cooperation to continue to keep our drugs safe.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb
Two, frankly, their downtime was minimal at best, because they were involved in all that we do. We included them in all of our various activities - and our activities were business meetings during the day, and in the evening there were receptions and dinners.
Brandon Hall
For years, we have had in place monthly access charge resolution meetings with the local phone monopolies.
Brad Burns
I haven't taken you to any meetings, have I?
Val Kilmer
I will be working on the logistics of this with City Hall officials with a view to establishing it and holding meetings on either a monthly or quarterly basis.
Brian Walsh
We do a lot as a group. There's the monthly meetings where we have speakers and special programs on things like diets. Then there's picnics, the Christmas banquet.
George Hubbard
There have been conversations with Dexter. We've had a lot of meetings. But it is difficult to work when one party ceases to listen and keeps going with his plans.
Bernice King
I think that it's really necessary for college presidents to be excited about the SA and to come to their college [cabinet meetings] and really show that they're enthusiastic about the issues.
Althea Tupper
I have been having dinner and breakfast meetings with these leaders to ask them to support me.
Musikari Kombo
There will be up to five live concurrent channels on the Web and eight additional audio channels covering the various committee meetings and other events.
Jeff Roberts
The idea there is to actually bring in cameras to go behind the scenes in some key decision-making meetings and product reviews.
Dan Bedore
I really can't see us making any headway by going to school board meetings.
Mike Firsching
We want to bring everybody up to speed. As (the election) gets closer, we'll hold meetings again in each community and answer questions.
Tracey Anders
The 'right to know' is more than the right to attend meetings of all boards and commissions. It extends to the records of government as well, and in this case it covers all public officials, not just those on boards and commissions.
Paul Gillies
Last year, we had a few meetings at different tracks ... drivers and owners ... and basically we weren't very happy with the way things were going with the Outlaws.
Tim Shaffer
The Legislature has made it very difficult for public agencies to close their meetings.
Pat Gleason
We got it across to them what happened and that they shouldn't be there. All the meetings are not going to solve anything unless you communicate to the Hispanics.
Victor Padilla
We are gathering all of the information that they need to have, and we hope to finalize the meetings of the major leagues [that finish Monday in New York] in order to give them all of the details.
Stan Javier
There's always been an appearance that we always have our hand out every time we come to one of these meetings.
Danny Williams
Just being around here, being in meetings and learning and getting coached, I feel a lot better than I did last year about this time.
Orlando Pace
And we were prepared for our meetings. We had all done our homework and knew the issues.
Anne Milling
Guys in the West are a little more laid-back . . . We have to work harder to get guys organized and make sure they know about it and bring friends and guys to the meetings.
Promise Keepers
We've been holding meetings for four weeks, and they keep offering us the same thing. The only change they've made is putting the offer in bigger letters.
Sam Gordon
We learned a lot in the two meetings this year. We learned to be confident after we beat them, and the loss gave us plenty to work on.
Steve Kuplicki
Residents and council are seeing this for the first time. We want to have some informal meetings with residents and leaders from the community.
John Penachetti
There were a couple of hell raisers at one of the Piper meetings.
Mike Armstrong
This was the first conversation, we will hold further meetings.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski
He's a real central banker. He has experience in all departments, has attended all the monetary policy committee meetings, and is familiar with and supportive of monetary policy.
Ozgur Altug
Because I know they are in the top tier, I have a scorecard for those suppliers and top management meetings.
Bob Currey
You don't have to always sit down to food to get things done. In fact, some would argue you problem solve better in the fresh air, so you may have moving meetings. It would be a great new trend.
Laurel Green
They hold meetings in a local tavern and don't have a lot of responsibilities.
Keith Fraser
I don't know what I'd do without meetings and the old-timers who have stayed sober and can help people like me.
Mindy Gehr
I got to be careful in meetings, he'll correct me. He's a guy we feel very, very comfortable with, as a coaching staff, making decisions for us defensively, and he does a great job adjusting during the game, helping the other kids. He does things that are unsung.
Jeff Casteel
The demographic of that meeting was pretty predictable. When I went to my first general managers' meetings in 1991, the demographics were not much different than they are today.
Jimmie Lee Solomon
We had meetings with a lot of companies. We met with News Corp, yes.
Niklas Zennstroem
We had very effective meetings. They were long, but we got a lot done. Each group got a fair chance.
Aaron Robinson
Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Mom always went to all the alumni meetings at Governors State to represent Robin.
Jody Walsh
We just have to make sure when we come to meetings like this, we both come with a good faith effort. To ask our input a week before is not an appropriate amount of time to do that.
Jesse Case
The ACLU believes prayer before meetings is divisive. It can make some feel like outsiders before their own government.
Andrew Schneider
We are working on meetings, our communication is getting better and both our governments are working pretty hard to solve this.
Joseph Prueher
We feel it should be for community use, for meetings and fundraising.
John Thompson
President Clinton listened in two meetings (to) our reservations on his initiative. And he promised that he will discuss these reservations with the Israeli side. The ball is in the American and the Israeli court.
Ahmed Abdel Rahman
He's not a yes man. The purpose of these meetings is to have a dialogue.
Raj Bharwani
There is always an opportunity to add in more meetings as we go if that becomes necessary.
Pam Dedent
There's meetings planned for mid- to late May that will be dealing with the issue of how FEMA should be reformed and what options the House should consider.
Charlie Keller
To think you have to get to the pension board meetings early, it just goes to show what a circus the city has become.
Joan Raymond
We're proud and happy about what we got off the ground in 2004. We've sent out a lot of mailings and we've been to a lot of meetings.
David Parry
He is very involved in the community and the hospital. He is so committed, when he moved to Lexington (Ky.) from here, he asked to remain on the (Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital) board. He still attends the meetings. We meet every two months.
John Mcginnis
It's probably the most broached topic we have at our town meetings.
Dan Mclaughlin
I have been involved in international meetings for many years and this is the first time when there is no chance of changing the final declaration of a ministerial meeting.
Cristina Narbona
I thought the meetings would be more community based, and help you make friends with people that are going through the same experiences as you.
Michael Stanga
We're not politicians, and that's where we're dying here. We've been to city council meetings now, and it's a very uncomfortable zone for us.
Christopher Sacca
Some meetings' minutes are missing. There are a number of gaps.
Thomas Frank
I didn't know (these meetings) were off-limits. I was not trying to interrupt or take over their meeting.
Jackie Wagstaff
There's still some possible moves here and there. We will probably make a few adjustments based on the comments we receive at these meetings.
Rick Powell
Those meetings are so good. It keeps me proud and keeps my resentment down. It reminds me of why we are over there.
Megan Mires
I'm the most out-of-work actor I know. In the last two years I've basically taken meetings for a living.
Macaulay Culkin
It is completely improvised. We have had no meetings backstage, we have not written anything, and everything you see onstage tonight is being made up on the spot.
Amy Poehler
The congressman has been on the phone with all of the city and county mayors of the areas affected and trying to make those meetings happen.
Randy Ford
I am sure that this meeting will be followed by more meetings in the future. We hope that finally it will lead to full diplomatic relations with Pakistan as we would like it with all Muslim and Arab countries.
Silvan Shalom
If it is delayed a bit nothing much will affect it because this is a deadline we put ourselves, I mean the coalition and the Governing Council, just the two of us. The two of us are in these meetings ... so if we say that we can't finish it, give it a few more days. It's very logical. It won't be any problem as far as Iraq is concerned.
Mahmud Othman
We've got two very important meetings at the end of this week that are going to (really help us out). Because of confidentiality, I really can't say anymore about who they are.
Paul Stamm
If as many people show up to help us build as have come to our meetings (12 to 15 people), then it will really be tough.
Klein Nielson
When I was a redshirt, I used to go to meetings and just kind of look at stuff because what they were teaching wasn't really important to me.
William Moore
We'll go to the community engagement meetings. We're going to keep on fighting. We cannot let this go.
Jeanie Bohl
I had to arrange the meetings myself.
Michael Dean
He's spent about 100 of the last 300 meetings on the sidelines.
Des Gleeson
We suspended today's meetings to discuss the formation of the government because of what happened at the al-Mustafa mosque.
Jawad Al maliki
The harvesters of the fish are becoming more united. When you go into allocation meetings, everyone wants that last little bit. But if we had more fish, we wouldn't be fighting for that last little bit.
Jim Harmon
They are overwhelmed by the mandates . . . the paperwork and a litany of meetings. They don't have enough time to get everything done.
Marianne Capoziello
We encourage people to develop their own proposals, handle jobs and meetings, be flexible and independent. It's been a nice formula for growth.
Dan Barczykowski
President Clinton listened in two meetings (to) our reservations on his initiative, ... And he promised that he will discuss these reservations with the Israeli side. The ball is in the American and the Israeli court.
Abdel Rahman
[There were] a lot of bruised egos, a lot of hard meetings, a lot of cussing and swearing. But it's fixed.
Andrew Maner
For me the really wonderful thing about doing this is that it's collaborative. The product is some place we wouldn't have gotten without all of us. I come away from design meetings all juiced up and ready to create.
Ann Gumpper
He also doesn't always act in a proper manner at City Council meetings, ... I think the mayor's office should take a little different direction.
Joseph Wood Krutch
We were always the two fooling around in meetings.
Chris Kemoeatu
We trust that this consideration will be the foremost subject of the meetings that are to take place between these three agencies.
Deidre Penfold
I have been asked to join these meetings next week.
Betty Lourdes Tabanda
[On this day, he took meetings with lawyers.] I met with Michael Bay today to try to get him back, to get a movie going with him. ... The Island.
Michael Bay
How that's done leads to efficiently run meetings.
Charles Meador
The big thing is grants that are tied to this, meetings that are tied to this. You know those deadlines don't change. They're not particularly sympathetic to that.
Joey Spatafora
We found that one firefighter was considered inactive because he doesn't come to all the meetings, but he still fights fires. He would still be eligible to vote. To my mind, if you're risking your life to fight our fires, you should get to vote.
Beatrice Mongo
We had public meetings that lasted four to five hours, night after night.
Paul Barnes
We actually started having meetings yesterday morning.
Gary Abell
It's surreal because I was comparing it to the New Orleans I went to for conventions and meetings, ... It's a city desperate to heal.
Bruce Wallace
The mayor believes that those meetings are about getting things done, not about political bickering.
Brian Fallon
It depends on the issue. If it's something people care about, then they come out to the meetings in droves. Traffic is one of those issues.
Charlotte Haines
We're going to have a lot of meetings. Every day, before every game. We had that meeting and everybody rebounded great.
Rahshon Clark
We're excited, they're excited, we've had some good meetings.
Pat Hurley
We hope to have a good idea of where the county needs future infrastructure after we finish this plan. I don't expect many changes in the update but these meetings will help us determine that.
Clyde Melick
And it's not fair to even raise executive sessions after we've had two private meetings.
Orrin Hatch
They are fanning out across the country having these so-called outreach meetings because they know they have suffered a giant PR disaster with the way they have handled the minority community in New Orleans.
Paul Berendt
We will issue out a statement tomorrow (Wednesday) when we have concluded meetings with the technical committee.
Raymond Hack
What seems to happen is you don't miss not having open records or open meetings until you are looking for information, and then you run into a brick wall.
Susan Schwartz
They will go to the meetings, be involved with the game plan.
Jeff Tedford
I've been to enough meetings and heard enough rhetoric that I believe they are not going to stop here.
Terry Andreessen
Craig Barrett's been very visible at the analysts meetings for a couple of years now. He's been very accessible as well, so I don't think there's going to be any major change in the direction of the company.
Chris Chaney
You run meetings, make appointments, but we're all pretty much equal.
Jamie Koch
That isn't a whole lot. It's getting close enough that we're concerned, and we're having these meetings.
Kurt Harclerode
You know, we have learned to expect that big meetings tend sometimes to attract big crowds of demonstrators, ... The issues vary.
Stephen Hadley
The biggest investment, in fact, is the time [commitment]. We typically charge $995 per month for these meetings, which is not a big hurdle for the members.
Dan Barnett
When you have meetings on a Monday, it does encroach on long weekends. Especially if you have weekend activities planned.
Margaret Craft
Unless we are of one accord, we are just beating the bushes coming to these meetings and accomplishing nothing.
Charles Glover
We probably have more meetings than anybody I know.
Dwayne Day
I think the way we're handling public comment right now (at council meetings) is a very good thing. I'm really happy that our new mayor is giving more time to that.
Jon Wilkins
This was a constructive meeting which lasted about two hours and this meeting is the first in a series of meetings which will continue next week.
Peter Feith
We need to speed up the approval process with fewer agencies involved, fewer forms to fill out, fewer meetings and fewer rules. That's the only way we're going to free up energies that will lead to the creation of new jobs.
Michael Glos
It's going to be all my brothers, but that's a work in progress. We're having our creative meetings right now. I'm really excited. My brothers are like my idols.
Randy Jackson
At the library, we have American Girl meetings every month. They're very popular.
Ann Coppola
He may not be as heavy-handed with policy decisions. The outcomes of the meetings may be more democratic, at least for a time.
Laurence Meyer
We've been talking for two and half weeks on this topic. We're having meetings, we're having committees, we're having this, but nothing's getting done.
Peter Flood
People are afraid to come to the meetings. We get lots of hate mail.
Tully Satre
I thoroughly enjoyed the meetings. It gave us an opportunity to get together and look at the issues we felt were appropriate.
Andrew Johnson
No matter what happened here today, I'm happy about all we've done in the last couple of months. The town hall meetings are packed. Something like this will probably never happen again.
Melissa Hill
He's great, and I frequently book conferences and meetings at the hotel just because of him, ... Many times, Luke is in the lobby greeting groups; he has a little doghouse there. He's a great addition and definitely a draw.
Anne Stevenson
It reminds me a little bit of the way we?re having our little informal meetings now. That?s the way George would be. He?d come into Tom Grieve?s office ? he was the general manager at the time ? and everybody would congregate in there informally, talk baseball and have some fun.
Wayne Krivsky
We had meetings with both exchanges. They both presented us with compelling proposals and it was a difficult choice.
Jean Medina
We have meetings here, and I'm embarrassed to have anyone over.
Tony Kornheiser
I want to hold town meetings. I want to meet with the fans. I want to have them tell us what they like and tell us what they don't like.
Jack Donovan
Right now we've raised about $15 million, and that's only after eight meetings. I don't figure we'll be doing these meetings too much longer.
John Heisdorffer
You don't have to be in sports, you don't have to be a Christian to come to our meetings.
Nathan Dalpini
There are some meetings taking place.
Steven Anderson
However, there are certainly needs that they have that we were trying to address through those meetings.
Bobby Dunn
You'll have more missed meetings. But as for SOX or privacy compliance, who cares? I don't see any broad implications.
French Caldwell
We match up really well with them this season. They've won three and we've won two of the previous meetings and all of them could have gone either way. This one will be the same but hopefully we can level up the series.
Karl Brown
We keep hoping, by recruiting more people for meetings, they can help us come up with more creative ways to get funding.
Lisa Lombardozzi
If you go into the meetings and look at the process as a nuisance or a burden, you're going to get what you deserve. But if you follow the process, even if it means taking some arrows, it's worth the effort.
Sam Savarino
This is going to be the new blockbuster for the region. We're going to attract any number of new conventions and meetings oriented toward history and education.
Paul Decker
What we're trying to say is that we're all one community. Although we have these things that we can celebrate (as differences), we also have a lot of things in common. The point is to educate our kids while they're young, because if we educate them while they're young, we're not going to have these community meetings anymore.
Michael Styles
I'm certainly going to encourage people to keep going to meetings and calling their councilors with their concerns and questions to make sure we get the best project we can get.
Colleen Kelley
We have a clear plan for the road show and meetings with investors. We have already had meetings with 70 percent of the main funds.
Sergei Bogdanchikov
We're shooting to hold our meetings earlier. We hope to start March 6, before midterm break.
Amy Currier
Our recommendation is the light version. These meetings work best when kept informal.
Chris Duerksen
These meetings may be at a church, but they are not religious meetings. They are anti-casino meetings. We wanted to get active right off the bat with this issue.
Dan Peters
In public meetings across the country, Brother David has spoken frequently about the fact that the food system has moral implications.
David Andrews
At these meetings they were talking about non-merit jobs.
Brett Hall
It is our hope we can hold these planning meetings on an annual basis and have as great a success as Grove City has had.
Jeni Ashbrook
It's not going to be town hall meetings where we try to get them to come us. We're going to go to them. The whole goal is to really get people talking about some of the good things that have gone on.
Jennifer Steck
The last 14 Fed meetings have been anticlimactic. The Fed came, they saw, they tightened and told us to expect more of the same. Looking ahead, things are starting to get more interesting. The outlook for economy now is less certain.
Colin Lundgren
Just sitting in meetings, he's one of those guys who talks about everything.
Craig Aukerman
In those meetings, they discussed what they were going to do, who was going to be a candidate, what strategies they would use, even whom they would threaten.
Cesar Gaviria
The meetings are going on a lot longer than they should.
Ray Murphy
Some people don't want to have meetings here anymore.
Danyell Oltean
We've done a lot of public meetings. It's a very involved plan; it's a very ambitious plan for the mayor and council. It's hard to understand what's involved.
Michael Saltzman
They've effectively cut off public participation at Town Board meetings. Now the public doesn't get to be heard.
Carol Silverstein
We have sign language practices and sign language groups before each of our meetings.
Maribeth Lartz
We like to bring in a wide variety of performances, so there's something that everyone can enjoy. Chuck's name came up in a lot of our meetings, so we decided to give him a call.
Amanda Matthews
Hopefully these types of meetings in Rabat would be the beginning of more serious kinds of meetings between different Arab leaders and the new Israeli leadership.
Ghassan Khateeb
Even though you do not live in a specific area, you can come to any of the meetings.
Shannon Edge
Geez, make a decision, ... They put things off. They just don't seem like they come to meetings prepared. They don't come across as a team, and they don't get things done.
David Brewer
As the governor's town-hall meetings have evolved into pro-tax rallies, I thought we should come out and have our voices heard.
James Parmelee
It will be a sounding board for a lot of officials to make speeches but I'm not convinced that we're going to see a lot of direction for the market from those meetings.
David Coleman
We'll be having a lot of meetings in the coming months to determine exactly what will happen.
Bob Scucci
He would be in our meetings, then run out to take batting practice. Even if he couldn't go out on the (football) field, he would try to come see us and he would come in on his own time and study film.
Dan Mullen
We would like to see more of the community at these meetings. I know the project is in its young stages, but we really would like to hear from the community.
Theresa Johnson
Please do not let this be the end, but the beginning of many joint meetings to better the working relationships between communities.
Jeni Ashbrook
Schools are used for not just the education of school aged children. They're used for adult learning. They're used for community meetings. They're used for health and fitness for community groups.
Darrell Dexter
Frankly, Clorox, they are not happy, because it becomes an employee retention problem. We're going to keep having these meetings long term if the causes of this are not addressed.
Benjamin Scott
They had their meetings in German until 1942, longer than anyone else.
Gabrielle Robinson
In these days of rapid change, time is precious, and you can't afford to waste it in meetings.
Mark Goulston
We encourage people to come to the meetings and we'll see what we can get done. If someone needs help, we will find a way to get it done.
Betty Patrick
To date, there's been no municipal approval, only approval from planning commissions. I went to all the meetings they had for it. The cost is based on how many join ... I don't see any need for it.
Joseph Graves
We had a couple of team meetings after those two losses and we've really got it together now.
Nik Antropov
We've had some very good discussions, and some good secondary discussions. I've told our guys, something good will come out of these meetings.
John Schuerholz
Football is a mistake. It combines the two worst elements of American life. Violence and committee meetings.
George F. Will
