Board meetings differ in their structure depending on the composition and function of each board. Certain meetings are formal and follow strict guidelines for parliamentary procedures (Call to Motions, Orders and Motions by Members, etc.). Certain meetings are more informal and can be held wherever such as the CEO’s house or restaurant. Whatever the setting each board meeting should have a few fundamental elements.
A new board meeting must begin by the presiding director discussing any issues with logistics (date, time, location of the meeting as well as the link to the meeting or video conference etc.) This is also when any special announcements, kudos, or shout-outs may be held.
After all the logistics are in place Then, he’ll discuss any concerns or issues with the recent performance of the company. The C-suite, as the other managers, are able to provide their thoughts and views regarding the company’s past performance as well as the future strategy. It is important that the board devises unifying strategies to help the organization expand across all departments and broaden their market reach.
The board should then focus its efforts on creating specific items that every chief executive officer can communicate to his or her department. It can be something as simple as improving the sales process, or as complicated as creating a new protocol for onboarding clients. The board should also decide on key performance indicators (KPIs) that will be used to gauge the success of their business. The final step of a board meeting is to vote on any decisions that require voting. Once the votes have been tallied the board is able to take action or reopen a decision that was not ratified by the majority.
