To ensure that your board meeting runs well, it is important to prepare. A well run meeting is more likely to result in a clear decision-making process, and efficient use of time for everyone.

The first step is to establish the agenda. The agenda should clearly outline the main topics that will be discussed and the final decisions to be taken. The meeting materials should be sent out at least one week prior to the meeting so that the participants and Board Members have time to prepare.

It is a good idea to call the participants in the meeting prior to the meeting to discuss any issues or to clarify any information that may be not being provided. This allows the Board member to discuss their concerns with the CEO or the management and to request any additional information needed in order to be prepared for the meeting. This will to reduce the number of questions that are asked during the meeting and makes it more productive and efficient.

It is an excellent idea to conduct some background research or investigation into any issues that could arise at the meeting.
