The way your board conducts its meetings plays a major influence on the effectiveness and efficiency of your board. To maximize the impact of every meeting, ensure that everyone on the board is aware of the expectations. This means establishing clear rules for making decisions, ensuring that you adhere to the guidelines for voting and clearly documenting decisions using accurate minutes.
A productive board meeting begins with a well-planned agenda. Consider using visual tools such as countdown timers or assigning time limits to every agenda item to ensure everyone is able to manage their time effectively. Avoid burying the agenda in lengthy reports and updates that frustrate your board members, and prioritize addressing the most important topics to be discussed at the top of your agenda.
Communicate clearly how your board makes its decisions. Consensus discussions are ideal, but formal voting is acceptable if it is needed. Make sure everyone is aware of the process of decision-making before each meeting.
The precise minutes are an essential aspect of the success of any board meeting, and a well-trained board secretary is crucial. Ensure that the individual responsible for taking minutes has adequate training and is a dedicated member of your board of directors. Make sure that the secretary of your board is taking notes on all pertinent issues, including information from comittee and officer reports. You should then accurately and promptly summarize all decisions taken at the meeting and assign responsibilities to follow-up and actions items.
