“ no powerpoint slides (they are distracting from the main conversation). Assume all at the meeting have read what was sent out before. Have a discussion…talk about what is important. Have a strong board chair that can help keep order and set expectations of the other board members. Only allow a board member to call into the board meeting once a year…being present is important. the informal discussions before/after and at breaks are more important than those at the meeting itself. Always have something new to talk about…a new idea, a brainstorm…just throw it out there and get a discussion going.
