How to Successfully Hold Board Meetings

Board meetings are important because the decisions made by your board, which typically require a majority or even unanimous agreement, can be a significant influence on the business. This means that you have plenty of limitations to consider but they aren’t as hard as you might think.

In general any successful board meeting requires a lot and preparation prior to the meeting. If your board members aren’t prepared, they might be unable to hold meaningful discussions at the meeting. This can result in your decision-making being delayed or even canceled. To avoid this, it is important to send out your board packs at least a few days ahead of the meeting.

The chair of your board must go over any ground rules at the beginning of the meeting with participants (e.g. how long a discussion will last or the best way to make the decision). This will make everyone aware of the rules and create a positive atmosphere.

The next part of the meeting typically includes reports being presented. These can include progress reports, financial statements, or any other relevant information. The board chair should then call each member to take attendance, ensuring that a quorum exists.

At this point the board can review and discuss the minutes of the board’s previous meeting. Once they’re ready the board can then approve them. Afterward, any announcements or updates that are relevant to the meeting at hand can be made public. The presiding officer may close the meeting or call it off.
