Nonprofit board meetings shouldn’t be boring. Learn best practices on running an effective nonprofit board meeting that engages board members, invites participation, and helps drive your organizations goals forward.
When was the last time your board left a board meeting feeling engaged, energized, and excited about the future of the organization? Far too often, board meetings get bogged down in operational details, readouts that could have been memos, and parliamentarian confusion – leaving board members disengaged and dreading the next.
Great board meetings aren’t hard to run, but they take planning and practice. In this talk, we help you identify the bottlenecks in your board meetings, implement best practices, understand how parliamentarian process (ie. Robert’s Rules) can be used as a tool to work efficiently, and design engaging meeting agendas that keep the focus on the board’s strategic oversight responsibilities and out of the operational weeds.
