A Board Meeting is a formal meeting of the board of directors of an organization and any invited guests, held at definite intervals and as needed to review performance, consider policy issues, address major problems and perform the legal business of the board.
A board meeting is a formal gathering of a company's board of directors to discuss and oversee the organisation's strategic direction, governance, and performance. It is the core activity in corporate governance, from which most other directors' duties originate.
Board meetings are formal gatherings held by the board of directors that aim to discuss major problems, areas of concern, vote on decisions, review performance, consider policy issues, and, in some cases, perform the legal duties of the board.
The board's key purpose “is to ensure the company's prosperity by collectively directing the company's affairs, while meeting the appropriate interests of its shareholders and relevant stakeholders” (Standards for the Board, IoD). Here we discuss what the role of the Board involves.
The management of the company is almost always delegated to the board of directors (this is set out in your company's Articles of Association). This means that, as a starting point, all decisions need to be made by the board, either unanimously or by a majority vote at a board meeting.
An effective board meeting drives decision-making, accountability and transparency. While boards should communicate between meetings, gathering in the boardroom allows for deeper discussions and more strategic decision-making about the organization's urgent issues.
A board meeting notice is necessary to inform the members that they should be available at a certain time and date to discuss important company matters. It should be sent out to the participants in good time to allow them to prepare and to make the necessary arrangements to attend.
Full Board means a meeting of all appointed Directors and not a Subcommittee of the Board.
A critical purpose of a board meeting is to ensure all directors are updated on the organisation's current standing. It's during this time that achievements, ongoing projects, financial results, and challenges are reported and reviewed.
