Which term refers to tasks or responsibilities assigned to individuals following a meeting?

• A. Meeting Minutes
• B. Discussion
• C. Pre-Paving Conference
• D. Action Items

Answer: (D)

After a meeting, the tasks assigned to individuals to be completed afterward are called action items. These specify what needs to be done, who is responsible, and often when it’s due, helping ensure accountability and progress on decisions made during the meeting. In contrast, meeting minutes are the official record of what was discussed and decided, not the tasks themselves. A discussion refers to the conversations that occur during the meeting, and a pre-paving conference is a specific type of planning meeting in construction projects. So the term that best describes post-meeting tasks is action items.
