Board meetings online can provide more accessibility than traditional meetings However, there are a few things that nonprofits should keep in mind. Board members who aren’t comfortable with virtual meetings may require assistance in navigating the technology. Additionally, certain things that are possible in person may not be feasible during an online meeting, for instance, physically handing documents or displaying content on flipcharts and whiteboards.
Selecting the best meeting management software is vital for your success, so be sure that the system you choose is secure and accessible. Encourage your attendees to try out their audio and video equipment before the meeting starts and to muffle their microphones when they’re not being used. Having a moderator at the meeting is beneficial. This person can make sure that all of the above systems are functioning well and help if something goes wrong during the meeting.
When it comes to hosting remote boards the most important thing is keeping the discussion moving. This is easier to do by regularly checking in with remote participants and ask them for their opinions. Additionally, you should encourage them to speak up during the meeting, and to share their views. This will increase collaboration and participation in your online board meetings. Additionally, you should end your meeting with a request for feedback. This will allow your attendees to share their ideas with you in a manner that doesn’t seem overwhelming or intimidating.
