Online board meetings can be an efficient method for nonprofits as well as their staff members to conduct business. As with any meeting, a number of aspects can impact the efficiency of an internet board meeting. This article highlights tips on making your virtual board meetings productive and discusses the most common mistakes that can be avoided.
Unengagement
Many boards for nonprofits discover that they struggle to keep members who are not in the office. This is especially true when you’ve changed from face-toface meetings to remote sessions. Meetings can suffer from low participation in the event that your board members aren’t used to interacting via video or are struggling with the technology itself.
It can be difficult to convince participants to participate in an online meeting when committee reports are not the most interesting portion of the agenda. Encourage your committee chairs to include in their reports a specific question or request for feedback from the Board.
Inadequate meeting minutes
Minute-takers on your board are responsible to record all discussions and decisions from virtual meetings. They should refrain from describing personal opinions or informal discussions and try to achieve a balance of thoroughness and conciseness. It is crucial to keep the minutes completely and maintain the ability to store all documents securely including governing documents as well as financial reports. This will prevent confusion and improve accountability.
