Accurate meeting documentation plays an important role in supporting plan advisors, their clients, and maintaining consistent fiduciary processes. But for many advisors, creating meeting minutes manually can be time-consuming and difficult to standardize across clients.
In a recent RPAG webinar, Brooke Visagie, Solutions Engineer at RPAG, demonstrated how advisors can use the RPAG portal’s automated meeting minutes and agenda tools to simplify documentation, improve consistency, and reduce administrative workload.
Below are five key takeaways from the session that can help advisors streamline their meeting documentation process:
1. Meeting Minutes Can Be Generated Directly from RPAG ReportsOne of the core advantages of the RPAG meeting minutes tool is that it integrates directly with existing reports in the platform. Advisors can select a client, choose the relevant report—such as a fiduciary investment review or provider analysis—and generate meeting minutes based on that data.
Because the system pulls information from the underlying report, advisors can quickly create structured documentation without starting from a blank page.
2. Auto-Generated Summaries Help Save Time
The platform includes automated summaries that populate key sections of the meeting minutes. These summaries draw from RPAG’s investment research and previously generated reports.
Examples include investment analysis summaries, market updates, scorecard methodology explanations, and fund review highlights. Advisors can keep these sections as written, edit them for clarity, or remove them depending on the scope of the meeting.
This automation significantly reduces the time required to produce comprehensive documentation.
3. Meeting Minutes Are Fully Customizable
While the platform provides a structured starting point, advisors retain full control over the final document.
Users can edit text, remove sections that were not discussed, or add custom sections for firm-specific notes and committee decisions. Advisors can also create and save templates so that their preferred structure can be reused across meetings and clients.
This flexibility helps firms maintain consistent documentation while adapting reports to different meeting formats.
4. Action Items Can Be Assigned Within the Report
Another practical feature highlighted during the webinar is the ability to assign follow-up tasks directly within the meeting minutes.
Advisors can add action items, assign them to members of their team, and set due dates. These tasks automatically populate within the RPAG portal’s task management system and calendar, making it easier to track next steps after a meeting.
This helps ensure that important follow-ups are documented and completed.
5. Documents Can Easily Be Shared with Plan Sponsors
Once finalized, meeting minutes can be generated as a formatted PDF and uploaded directly to the RPAG Fiduciary Briefcase.
The briefcase acts as a shared document vault where advisors can store and organize materials such as meeting minutes, investment reviews, and other plan documents. Uploading documents directly from the portal simplifies the process of sharing records with plan sponsors while keeping documentation centralized.

Bringing Greater Efficiency to Meeting Documentation
RPAG’s meeting minutes and agenda tools help advisors create consistent, well-documented client records with far less manual effort. By combining automation with customizable reporting, the platform streamlines meeting documentation while maintaining clear fiduciary records.
The result is a more efficient workflow that frees advisors to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time delivering value to plan sponsors. If you want to learn more about this tool or any of your member benefits, email support@rpag.com.
