California: Our manager prepares an agenda that includes routine items like violation hearings and bids, but it is up to the board president to approve it and add any items they want from themselves and other directors. The manager then prepares the agenda, distributes it and posts it.
An agenda is an outline of the issues that a group will discuss during its meeting. The officers of the organization prepare the agenda with assistance from the organization advisor. An agenda starts with a list of general business items.
Often agenda items are just decided by the Chair and the Secretary. However, if you can it is useful to find ways of giving your members the opportunity to contribute. Some ways of doing this are: Put up a suggestion sheet on a notice board.
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.
How much notice must be given? The general rule is that at least 21 days' notice must be given, although constitutions may specify longer. More than 28 days' notice must be given for listed companies regardless of what the company constitution says (s 249HA).
Contents of a notice of meeting Names and roles of all the invitees. Type of meeting — regular, annual, or special. Date, time and location of the meeting (the notice should also be dated) Purpose of the meeting, such as budget approval or discussing current operations.
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.
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.
