To ensure governance meetings are effective, several best practices should be followed:
- Preparation: Distribute the agenda and relevant materials well in advance to allow attendees to review and prepare. - Facilitation: The meeting should be facilitated by a skilled leader who can keep the discussion focused and productive. - Participation: Encourage active participation from all attendees to gain diverse perspectives. - Follow-up: Document the key decisions and action items, and ensure follow-up on these points in subsequent meetings.
