To ensure that your board meeting runs smoothly, it is essential to plan it out. A well-organized meeting will lead to an informed decision and efficient use of everyone’s precious time.
This starts with the agenda. The agenda should clearly state the essential items to be discussed, as well as the decisions that need to be made. It is also essential that the materials for the meeting are distributed prior to the date of the meeting, usually one week in advance to ensure that Board members and attendees have enough time to prepare for the meeting.
If there are any issues that must be addressed or a lack of information included in the board’s agenda It is a great idea to schedule a call with the individuals involved prior to the meeting. This will allow the Board member to discuss any concerns they have with the Management or CEO and to ask for additional information in preparation for the meeting. This will reduce the number of questions that are asked during the meeting, and help to have more efficient and productive meeting.
It is also advisable to conduct research or investigate the issues that might come up during the meeting. You can do this in various ways, from asking the relevant individuals for more information to checking with external sources. You will be more informed and be able to ask intelligent and insightful questions that enhance your meeting.
