The process of organizing a board of directors meeting can be a lengthy process. It is necessary to collect and collect input from all board members. You must also find an appropriate time and date that is acceptable for everyone, reserve a venue, and write an agenda that maximizes efficiency and productivity. With the help of digital tools, it’s never been easier to organize secure and efficient online meetings.

Make sure your meetings are focused by clearly defining your end goal of every item on your agenda. This will help keep your board members focused and avoid the temptation to push random topics that can eat up valuable time during meetings. For instance, instead of focusing discussions on field trip approval or textbook purchases, move those items to the “parking lot” portion of the agenda, so they’re away from the agenda prior to moving on to more pressing discussion topics.
