Remote board meetings are an online version of the traditional face-to-face board meeting. You and your fellow attendees connect anonymous via an online, secure, and easy-to-use platform. Your team can attend the meeting without the need to travel or pay for travel expenses.
The first step in a successful remote meeting is to choose the best video conference software. It should be safe, easy to use and include a variety of useful tools. Once you’ve chosen the best video conference software, make sure to test it prior to the event so that everyone can begin.
You should also study the rules and regulations in your state regarding remote meetings. You may need to consider the legal implications, so speak to your board administrator or attorney prior to arranging an event.
It’s also an excellent idea to mute your microphone when not speaking to ensure that others can clearly hear your conversation. This also helps to keep the meeting on course by avoiding interruptions which can cause stress for everyone involved.
In the end, it’s essential to set clear goals and time limitations for the meeting before you start. You can then keep the meeting on track and finish all agenda items. This will also help keep your remote board members engaged and focused throughout the meeting.
