When I speak to heads of school, I am not amazed when they tell me that their board meetings may go on for hours . . . and hours. Be they committee meetings or board meetings, volunteers' precious time at meetings should not last more than an hour and a half with the understanding that some designated meetings may need more time. Here is some sage advice on the structure of a meeting.
"THE STEPS TO CONDUCTING A BOARD MEETING ARE:
- Recognize a quorum
- Calling meeting to order
- Approve the agenda and minutes
- Communication and reports
- Old/new/Other business
- Close the meeting"
