Inspired by the work of researchers Kim Cameron and David Whetten, here are some proven methods for how to have an effective meeting every time by following the four Ps: purpose, product, people, and process.
Topics on the agenda at this meeting include adopting the by-laws, authorizing the issuance of shares, appointing officers, appointing an auditor, and more. The by-laws are the internal rules of the corporation.
The agenda is the list of things that will be discussed during the meeting. It is usually sent to board members well in advance of the meeting to ensure everyone has a chance to read and digest it before the meeting starts.
Board meetings typically focus on the internal workings and decisions of a company, which is why they will involve the entire board of directors. Key agenda items relating to the business will often be discussed which is why this type of meeting will often require board meeting minutes to be kept.
Conduct general meeting The company may pass a resolution to appoint a director in an Annual General Meeting (AGM). If the company decides to appoint a director in the middle of the year, it may appoint a director by passing a resolution in an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
A board meeting agenda should begin with a call to order, welcoming remarks, and the gathering's objectives. The chairperson covers basic information (date, time, location), introduces the board, and calls the meeting to order—or to start.
Method of Appointment The additional director may be appointed in a meeting of the Board, which may be held physically or through video conferencing or other audiovisual means. The other applicable method of appointment is through circulation, on which no prohibitions have been meted out.
What is the best format for a meeting agenda? Meeting details, like date, time, location and attendees. Meeting objectives that state the purpose of the meeting. Agenda items with specific topics for discussion. Schedule of events with times allocated to each agenda item. Action items from previous meetings.
The notice must provide directors with the date, time, and location of the meeting. Although technically, the purpose of the meeting does not have to be provided, it is generally a good idea to include an agenda or similar information so directors know what to expect and why it is important to attend.
The agenda should include the meeting's goal, a list of topics to be discussed with their purposes, time allocations, and assigned facilitators. This structure provides a clear roadmap for the meeting, ensuring that all important points are covered. Share the agenda with all participants well in advance of the meeting.
