A board meeting is an important strategic taking process for the company. It involves evaluating its previous performance, having discussions, and approving plans of actions that support the organization through its various growth phases. The majority of these plans are for new policies, projects or organizational changes that require the coordination of different teams and departments within the company.
An organized agenda is vital for successful board meetings. This ensures that everyone is on the exact same page when discussing topics. It also helps to avoid distractions from tangential discussions and ineffective chatter. Create an “parking area” at the end of your agenda to move things that aren’t as important to the back. This lets you concentrate on the most important topics first.
Participants must also be focused on the task at hand. It is the Board Chair’s responsibility to restore order if there is a Board member interrupts or is acting in an inappropriate way. This could involve temporarily suspending the meeting until the offending individual has calmed down, or permanently stopping the meeting if such conduct persist.
Each board meeting must include precise minutes. The board secretary or minutes keeper is responsible for recording every deliberation or decision in a way that’s easy to understand. This includes the specifics of all motions, such as the person who backed them, and whether they were approved by count or voice. The minutes will also include the reason for every votes that are not in agreement.
