TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL MEETINGS
  • Meetings should not exceed more than 1.5 hours; time is your most precious commodity.
  • Agendas should be forwarded to board members and any special guests prior to the meeting.
  • Give time limits for each agenda item.
  • Any specific committee items should be discussed in separate committee meetings.
  • E-mail minutes in advance of the board meeting. Never read minutes in the meeting.
  • Meeting reports should be completed after every meeting and sent to the Coordinator of Reservations within 48 hours.
  • Minutes are required of each group and should be submitted to the Coordinator of Reservations.
  • Reports should include updates since last meeting; review and vote on last meeting's minutes; treasurer's report; discuss upcoming events/programs; and membership goals.
  • Board meetings should be for board business. Let the committees do their work and report back to the board.
