Preparing For Your Board Meeting

Preparing your board meetings requires time. The most successful boards are serious about their meetings and ensure that they are conducted smoothly. They schedule meetings well ahead of time to give board members an opportunity to accept the meetings (and often to make a deal on their calendars). Board members are very busy and can be on multiple other boards and teams. Therefore, coordinating with the individual and their assistants to ensure they are able to attend board meetings is vital.

Another important aspect of preparing for your board meeting is to ensure that you have all of the materials prepared prior to the board meeting. Send out the finalized agenda and the board pack about a week prior the meeting. This will allow the Board Members to read through and absorb all materials before they attend the board meeting.

Also, prior to the board meeting, it’s an excellent idea to schedule brief calls with your Board members or their assistants to ensure that they are ready for the meeting. This will enable you to quickly solve any issues that could occur, like the need for updated slides which need to be distributed prior to the meeting.

Reflecting on the reasons you serve on the board is a great idea. This will help you stay focused during the board meeting and ensure that you cover all relevant issues.
