What Are Consent Agendas? A consent agenda (also known by Roberts Rules of Order as a “consent calendar”) groups routine meeting discussion points into a single agenda item. In so doing, the grouped items can be approved in one action, rather than through the filing of multiple motions.
Board chair: The board chair is at the helm of every meeting and is responsible for following board meeting best practices. 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.
Under Robert's Rules, the agenda is initially written up by the secretary and approved by the presiding officer or chairperson. However, the adoption of the agenda for each meeting should be voted on by the majority of the assembly at the beginning of the meeting, and only at this point is it binding.
In most cases, the board secretary will set the agenda for a board meeting, although any board member can do it. The secretary often puts the board meeting agenda together in collaboration with the board president. The secretary typically asks board members if they have any items they want to be added to the agenda.
Agenda approval is typically needed in formal settings like board meetings or committees where procedural adherence is crucial. It may be less formal in team or project meetings but is still valuable for structure and focus. Routine Meetings: Approval might be quick, reflecting a standard procedure.

The board secretary is the one who makes up the agenda. They're also the one who prepares the agenda for sharing while making meeting invitations. They should also distribute one ahead of time, at least one week before the meeting to let board members prepare for the discussion.
