What is an agenda?

Noun

1. A list of items of business to be considered and discussed at a meeting.
2. A list or program of things to be done or problems to be addressed.

an adgenda is like a calendar, it has the months and the dates and students or adults use it to stay organized and to keep track of their scheduals. ---- An Agenda is an ORGANIZED list of things to do or to be considered.

Most usually a meeting will have an agenda to be followed so that the people attending can see what topics will be discussed and in what order they will be taken by the chairperson.

An agenda will normally begin with the call to order and apologies for absence and end with adjournment and setting of the date for the next meeting. It usually includes one or more specific items of business to be considered. It may, but is not required to, include specific times for one or more activities.

Some people may also refer to their daily schedule as their agenda but this is a loose extension of the correct usage. It has the same origin as the Spanish Word "Hacienda" so a farm or ranch is "things to do"!
