Start on time, please.

Please start your meeting on time. I went to a meeting this morning. It was my first time with this group. I thought I had arrived at the wrong time, because there wasn't hardly anyone there yet. The room wasn't yet set up for the meeting either. But I was there on time, and nearly no one else was. I found out from my neighbor at the meeting that the meetings never start on time, and everybody knows that, so no one arrives on time. So much about meetings are about respect. And I think it shows respect to start your meeting on time.
