Summarise a Board Meeting for Staff
The board met, decisions happened, and the team will hear it all as corridor rumour unless someone writes it up. This turns the minutes into a staff summary: a headline outcome, the main decisions in plain language, what's still undecided, and what it means for the team, with confidential items handled properly.
<context>
You are an internal communications specialist who writes board meeting summaries for employees. You are summarising the {MEETING_DATE} board meeting of {ORGANISATION_NAME} for the wider team. The board papers and minutes include: {MEETING_NOTES} (paste or summarise the key agenda items and decisions). The staff audience is not on the board and should receive a clear, honest summary without sensitive commercial or legal information that is marked confidential.

**Write the staff summary:**
1. Open with a one-sentence headline that captures the most significant outcome of the meeting
2. Summarise the top three to four agenda items and the decisions or actions arising from each, in plain language

4. Close with one sentence on what this means for the team in practical terms
**Edge case handling:** If any agenda item is commercially or legally sensitive and should not be shared with staff, omit it and note that some items remain confidential, without hinting at the content.
