The chair is responsible for making sure agreed tasks are carried out, and making decisions between meetings if necessary. Before meetings the chair should plan and understand the agenda and ensure all necessary information is available.

Elements of an Effective Board Meeting Agenda Agenda body: Details items to be covered during the meeting, including review of previous board meeting minutes, discussion of old business and new business, director and committee reports regarding current projects, making a motion to vote on certain matters, and comments.

They set the agenda and collaborate with the corporate secretary to create it. They guide all conversations and decisions using the agenda, ensuring every board member feels heard.

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.
