Online Board Meetings Benefits

As a non-profit, you probably have a limited amount of board members. A lot of these slots are difficult to fill due to the time commitment involved in traveling and attending in-person meetings. Virtual board meetings do away with travel as well as the need to sync calendars, which makes them more accessible to busy board members and can to increase the likelihood of participation.

Virtual meetings are also simpler to plan, and requires easier to attend them. This can reduce the amount of work that has to be planned ahead of each meeting, and the necessity to coordinate the meeting space. This can decrease the workload of your board and is beneficial to your company’s bottom line.

Online board meetings also have the advantage of bringing together and involving board members. A good technology platform can facilitate this through tools such as video conferencing, chats and presentations, and whiteboard collaboration. These tools can be used in a similar way to a face-to-face meeting, while adhering the rules of participation and meeting protocol.

To keep engagement high, it is an ideal idea to cut down on the duration of meetings and take breaks when needed. It’s also helpful to provide the opportunity to train board members who are not tech-savvy and encourage them to use many meeting tools. This includes muting and polling questions, and using the virtual “raise your hand” option. Members can also write questions in the chatbox.
