When meetings are carefully prepared ahead of time, they move along more productively and efficiently. When preparation is done well, the meeting should run so seamlessly, that board members will not even be aware of how much preparation has gone into the meeting.
The board secretary is often the unsung hero, but board members appreciate arriving at a meeting that is well-planned. Using a checklist will help you prepare more effectively and cut down the time that is needed to prepare for the next meeting.
