Online Board Meetings Benefits
As a non-profit, you’re likely to have a restricted amount of board members. A lot of these slots are difficult to fill because of the time commitment associated with traveling and attending in-person meetings. Virtual board meetings can eliminate travel and the requirement to sync calendars, which makes them more accessible for busy board members and can increase the likelihood of participation.
Virtual meetings are also easier to organize, and require easier to attend them. This can reduce the amount of work to be prepared prior to each meeting, and the need to coordinate the meeting space. This can ease the burden of your board which is advantageous to your bottom line.
Online board meetings also have the advantage of bringing together and involving board members. A good technology platform can help facilitate this engagement by providing tools like communication through video conferencing, presentation and discussion via chats, and whiteboard collaboration. These tools can be used in a similar way to a face-toface meeting, while still adhering to the rules of participation and meeting protocols.
Limiting the duration of meetings is a great way to keep the attendees interested. It’s also beneficial to provide the opportunity to train less tech-savvy board members and encourage them to use a variety of meeting tools. This includes polling questions, muting, using the virtual “raise hand” option and allowing board members to submit questions via the chat box.
