From “someone should fix it” to a clear next step.

Capture the useful details

Record the location, a short description and a photograph when helpful. A specific report makes it easier to understand the issue and assign the right person.

Name the next step

Assign an owner and a status. Let the member know when the issue has been reviewed and whether a vendor, staff member or committee decision is needed.

Record the resolution

Keep a short note of the work completed and confirm the issue is resolved. Looking back at repeated problems can help the society plan future maintenance.
