Agendas are "This is what we're discussing," like an outline for your minutes. Minutes are in essay form, aka complete sentences and no bullet points, with details on exactly what was said, and if possible by who. But more importantly what, EXACTLY, was discussed. "Need more engagement with Board members," okay that's great.. but WHAT about that did you discuss? Strategies? Kicking some members off to get new ones who will engage? Changing policies so this can happen? REQUIRING it of members? Details. That's what minutes add. If whoever is in charge of doing minutes is completely clueless on this idea (and this seems the case) i do believe i have copies of minutes i kept from a similar type of board meeting i'd be happy to share and give tips on how exactly to do this.
and JOOC... has our user rep attended *any* meetings? i'm not asking this to be difficult, i actually don't know and would like to know.
She did not attend the April meeting, she did attend the June meeting, they never posted anything from the October meeting, no one knows if Turkey ever happened and she didn't make this one.
Yeah, exactly. She hasn't done anything, not a post on her LJ, not opening up comments or in a community and she can't even show up at what is now at least 2 of her 4 meetings. Way to go fandom!
Word on the street is that both user reps got no more advance notice than users did, that is, 1 day or so. Not surprising in those conditions that they wouldn't be there.
I heard a rumor that by the magic of the talky-voice machine you can now listen to and participate in meetings from anywhere in the world that has a working phone line. WITCHCRAFT!

That's what people get for voting for someone that's popular rather than someone with experience.
