When addressing the board, always use the title Mr. Chairman” or Madam Chairwoman.” If you are unsure of the proper title, Board of Directors” is always acceptable. When speaking to the board, always refer to them as sir” or ma'am.”

If the director of the company remains absent in all the Board meetings held within 12 months with or without seeking a leave of absence he needs to vacate the office of director. Such 12 months is not a calendar or accounting or a financial or previous year or any other year.

Directors have a nondelegable duty to attend board meetings. Missing an occasional meeting is not a problem, but habitually missing meetings or refusing to attend is a breach of their fiduciary duties.

In such cases, the vacation of the director's office may not be enforceable. In conclusion, it is important for directors to attend Board meetings, as failure to attend all meetings for 12 months will result in the automatic vacating of their office.

Most board meeting agendas follow a classic meeting structure: Calling meeting to order – ensure you have quorum. Approve the agenda and prior board meeting minutes. Executive and committee reports – allow 25% of time here for key topic discussion. Old/new/other business. Close the meeting and adjourn.
