A short telephone call to each board member a week or so before the board meeting is a great way to build rapport and have one on one dialogue. At the meeting, at the top right of every page of the board package it should say “Information” or “Action” and at the bottom of each page it should have a conclusion or “Take away.” At least twice a year, include outside experts in your board meetings. Instead of a board dinner, bring in a meal and have an expert cover topics such as the future of your industry, technology changes impacting your business or corporate governance trends such as ESG or Activism.
