Meetings are held at the comfort of your home or another location with internet access. They have many advantages, including greater governance for nonprofits, more efficient time for meetings and expanded participant diversity.

In general, they are not permitted by the internal policies of certain mission-driven companies and organizations, and may also be illegal in some states or regions.

The person who is organizing the meeting should draft an agenda and invite everyone to participate. Attach a copy of the invitation to the calendar so that everyone is able to see it. You can also add notes, feedback or comments before the scheduled time. This will help streamline the meeting and increase participation.
Board members must adhere to the rules for online meetings during the meeting by turning off their camera and only speaking when they are required to. The board chair can also invite volunteers who would like to lead the discussion, and then appoint the notetaker.

When the meeting is finished It’s important to follow up with any deadlines and actions that were set in person or listed on the online board platform. This will ensure accountability and also allow board members to reach out to board members who aren’t fulfilling their duties.
