Opening Remarks

Opening remarks are the initial words or statements made at the beginning of a meeting to set the tone, provide context, and welcome participants. These remarks are typically delivered by the meeting organizer or a designated leader and serve as an introduction to the meeting’s purpose and agenda. Opening remarks often include greetings, an overview of the meeting’s objectives, any important announcements, and a brief outline of the agenda. They help create a positive and engaging atmosphere, establish expectations, and provide a clear starting point for the meeting.
