- Bring business cards to hand out to anyone who needs one.

- Maintain the formality or informality established by the chairperson.
- Don't be afraid to ask for more detail or an explanation if you don't understand something. Someone else may be wondering the same thing.
- Provide input whenever possible.

- Never bring friends, spouses, children, or others to business meetings.
If the meeting involves a conference call:
- Call in a few minutes early to allow time for resolution of any technical difficulties.
