minute taker

Notes the proceedings

A minute taker is the person responsible for recording what happens during a meeting—the discussions, decisions, and action items.

The role may be assigned to a secretary, rotate among participants, or fall to whoever volunteers: We need a minute taker for today's session.

The minutes they produce become the official record.
