International meetings and English minutes
International meetings deserve professional English minutes. Emma Handson offers the perfect minutes secretary for this. We provide the same high quality in English as we do in Dutch, so you can count on a coherent and polished report.
English as the working language
Increasingly, companies are using English as their working language, not necessarily because they are entirely American or British. If not all meeting participants are fluent in Dutch, the conversation often switches to English. But, taking minutes in English is much harder than speaking it. Mistakes can easily happen. For professional English minutes that everyone understands, leave English minute taking to the specialists at Emma Handson.
The strength of native speakers
At Emma Handson, we use native English speakers who live and work in the Netherlands. The advantage is that they take perfect English minutes while also understanding Dutch culture. They can translate the spoken language from the meeting into professional, written English, even if not all speakers are native English speakers. Our native speakers deliver a coherent report you can confidently present to international board members.
English minutes for all types of meetings
Our minute takers provide minutes for all kinds of meetings held in English, Dutch, or a mix of both. In every case, we ensure perfect English minutes. The organisations we work for include:
- Pension funds (pension administration organisations and board offices)
- Financial institutions (banks, insurers, and asset managers)
- Dutch companies with international branches
- Companies headquartered abroad
- Universities
- Companies with international consultants/employees
- Non‑profit organisations
- Transportation companies (rail industry and port authorities)
- Government
- Energy and network companies
- Legal sector
- Medical sector
Anytime and anywhere
Even if your international meeting takes place abroad or at an unusual time, Emma Handson is happy to take care of the minutes. The minutes secretary will join online or prepare the minutes from a recording. For example, we already work for an organisation in Curaçao. Whether you want concise summaries or detailed minutes, in British or American English, you will receive perfect minutes tailored to your preferences.
