Next, you need to determine the goals of your meeting. This will to guide your board’s discussions and decisions. It’s also a good idea to go through the minutes of your previous meeting, as they will reflect the changes you made, and provide information on what should be discussed during this meeting.

Placing the most important topics first allows your board to move efficiently through the meeting and avoid getting stuck on less important issues. Also, ensure that each agenda item is clearly defined as a chance to gather information or inform and not just to make a decision.

The agenda for your board should be sent out well in advance so that everyone has plenty of time to read and then review it.

Be sure to check in with members of the executive team who are accountable for reporting and ensure they have the necessary materials.
