Also, for future reference, a question like this is best for the Support list, not the Development list. Development is more for the Development OF Drupal, like for Core or Contrib modules, if I understand correctly. Also, I'm still in Drupal 6, so I'm not sure if Node Import is available in D7 yet.
Good Luck!

Node Import module is what I like to use. There are many options for how to get the information into the site, though. You could have a Meeting content type, and then have Date and Attendance for fields in them, or have User References so that the users can see what meetings they attended. Display = Views. Views is your best method, in my opinion, to query a database and display the results. In this case you can use an argument that defaults to Current User, and then use that to display the Meeting content type. This would be a View of type Node. Filter - Node:Type = Meeting, Fields - Meeting name (and whatever else). Hopefully this will get you off to a good start.
