The Board Meeting Process

A board meeting could be an important moment for a business, so it should be productive and efficient. A clear agenda and a discussion that is pertinent will maximize the value from each minute of the board meeting. Focusing the discussion can help avoid distractions, such as endless and ineffective side conversations.

In a typical meeting, the first step is to ensure that a majority of board members are present. The chairperson or designated board member takes attendance and reviews the attendance list. This allows for adjustments to the quorum, as well as an accurate record of all who attended the meeting.

Then, various reports are presented to the board of directors. These include reports from committees executive reports, executive reports and financial updates. In this phase, the board reviews these reports and then discusses them to make informed decisions regarding the future direction of the company. It is typical for these reports to be scrutinized prior to the meeting and approved by directors via email or telephone. This will allow for faster processing at the meeting and ensure that all members are familiar with the content.

After reviewing all reports, it’s time to discuss strategies which can help the organization grow and reach its goals. These strategies should be followed by key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess their success. These KPIs should be quantifiable, and closely aligned with the goals of the organization. They should be also realistically achievable.
