The structure of your board helps it make the right decisions. The meeting of the board usually begins with a call to order, in which the chairperson greets all attendees, introduces new members, and explains the purpose and vision of the business. The next step in the board meeting is to review and approve the minutes of previous meetings. This gives the board a snapshot of where the organization is at.
After the board has analyzed past performance, it’s time to consider strategies to boost nonprofit awareness, increase donor and member numbers and generate fundraising opportunities. Ideas can be translated into actionable steps by every department. Senior management should present their ideas for growth during this section of the meeting and solicit feedback from the executive team. The board must then agree on a strategy that can be implemented within the given timeframe.
It is also a good time to examine any obstacles, like budgetary concerns or time limitations, that may hinder the execution of your chosen plan. The board must think of solutions that can assist the company to overcome these obstacles and move forward.
This part of the meeting is typically reserved for announcements, congratulatory messages or condolences that attendees may have. It also contains important items to add to the next session’s agenda. The chairperson of the board will announce the meeting’s conclusion so that the secretary can make the appropriate note in the minutes.
