Putting Together Board Meeting Agendas....And Why It's Important!

Putting Together Board Meeting Agendas....And Why It's Important!

So you are ready for your first official Board Meeting, as the Executive Director of your nonprofit.  But questions begin to come to mind.

 Who puts together the Board Meeting Agenda?  What items should be on the Agenda?  What am I responsible for in the meeting?

Tim is on the road, so Nathan is going solo as he dives into putting together a Board Meeting Agenda.  Pulling from his years of experience, Nathan discusses the following items that should be on the agenda:

  • Meeting Requirements
  • Executive Director's Report
  • Money
  • Program
  • Old and New Business
  • Adjournment

Grab a note pad or a laptop and get ready to capture practical insights in putting together a Board Meeting Agenda.
