The board meetings are the core of a company’s management, however, they need to be organized so that they allow for productive discussions and making decisions.

Begin by introducing the chair or facilitator. This sets the stage for the remainder of the meeting and helps to create an engaging and meaningful discussion.
Review the reports of the various committees or department heads. This is a chance for departments or groups of individuals to share their progress and discuss any achievements or challenges.
Then, you can revisit previously resolved or unresolved items from previous meetings or any new issues. These could be pending actions or initiatives, projects that are being considered or other agenda items that require discussion and board decision-making.
Discussion of new topics can divert attention from the main agenda items and can cause discussions to get out of control.

Setting a time limit for each agenda item can be helpful to keep discussions focused and avoid them drifting off-topic.
