Board business
BOARD MEETING AGENDA
Once you’re in the meeting proper, it will likely include the following
items:
1. Board business. This should be short. Get it out of the way quickly.
2. Big picture summary. A short, high-level overview of the state of
company.
3. Quick review and discussion of key metrics. You’ll want to pay
particular attention to those metrics that impact company strategy. These
metrics should all have been in the slides sent out 48–72 hours earlier.
4. Follow-up items from last meeting. You can also do this section after the
strategy topics. Really what you want is a large block of time to focus on
strategy.
5. Discussion of 2–3 key strategy topics important to company. These
topics and background on them should have been in the slides sent out 48–72
hours earlier.

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: ambiguous // more accurately: it's the "internal admin" of organising ***the board meetings*** - definitely NOT anything about "organising the company itself" like appointing new directors!!!

It says, "This should be short. Get it out of the way quickly.", so it should be the above items.

Daryo
: yes, that would be a bog standard start for almost any meeting and the kind of unavoidable "formalities" that you need to get out of the way first.

: that's how most meetings begin? Doesn't have to be anything to do with a "board" or its business//it also says "Once you’re in the meeting proper"
