Preparing for your board’s meeting is among the most important actions you can take to ensure an effective meeting. A well-run meeting will result in a clear decision-making process, and an efficient use of time for everyone.
The agenda is the first step. The agenda should clearly identify the main topics that will be discussed as well as the decisions that need to be made. It is also essential that the materials for the meeting are distributed in advance of the meeting, ideally within a week in advance, so that Board Members and participants have ample time to prepare for the meeting.
If there are any issues that require to be addressed or a lack of information in the board’s package, it is a good idea to schedule a phone call with the appropriate people prior to the meeting. This allows the Board Member to discuss their concerns with the CEO or the management and request any additional information needed to be prepared for the meeting. This will help to reduce the number of questions asked at the meeting, and makes it more productive and efficient.
You should also conduct some research or study on any issues that might be discussed during the meeting. You can do this by requesting more information from the relevant people or checking external sources. You will be more informed and be able to ask intelligent and insightful questions that will enhance your meeting.
