A board meeting schedule is a written document that outlines the various topics that the board of directors will focus. The agenda for the board meeting should include the date as well as the time and location for the meeting along with an outline of each topic to help attendees prepare.

Board members are typically busy and require plenty of time to plan their schedules. Experts recommend at least five to seven days as a reasonable timeframe to allow adequate preparation of board meeting materials, including the agenda and other documents required.

The first item on the board meeting agenda is usually an overview of progress since the previous meeting, looking at significant milestones and accomplishments as also missed targets and other issues that could require further exploration. The executive director is also able to present a summary of the business outlook for the moment and draw attention to positive and negative trends.

Following the summary of progress and any items that require a vote will be called for. These are usually resolutions which require a formal decision from the board. These resolutions could be implemented as new policies.

The next items on the agenda for board meetings will likely to be an overview of the last minutes as well as any actions that were discussed at the last meeting. It is important to make sure that all action items are documented and followed on, which is why they are outlined in detail.
