The procedures for board meetings determine the way in which discussions are held and ultimately the decisions that are made during the board meeting. These meetings are typically held remotely, which is why it is essential to have clear guidelines for board meetings in place to ensure that all members are on the same level.
First, you must send the agenda to all members. Include any relevant documents like financial reports for the company or projections. This helps the participants prepare fully for the meeting and provides them with the information they need to make a well-informed decision on any topic.
During the meeting, members should be encouraged to take part in the discussion by raising their hands prior to making statements or asking questions. However, they should be aware of the time limit and refrain from asking questions that have already been answered by the board pack. This will cut down on time.
Anything not mentioned on the agenda can be discussed with the permission of the Chairman and a majority of Directors present at the meeting. A resolution may also be approved by the Directors present in the meeting. In the event of a majority number of votes, the Chairman will have the casting vote.
A vote occurs after a statement from the member and the chair has confirmed that there is a quorum within the room (usually a certain percentage dependent on the laws of your state). Then, the chair states that “the motion fails because of the lack of a second.” If it is necessary to take a vote during the meeting, the chair typically reiterates the motion, then asks for affirmative or the negative votes are announced and then the outcome of the vote.
