In a boardroom there are major decisions made that will affect everyone from the employees of a firm to the shareholders who own the shares. These meetings are held in a space large enough to accommodate all members and located in a space that promotes privacy. These rooms can be designated as such or they could be used as basic conference rooms. The most common requirement for these rooms is that they be soundproofed. This ensures that the conversation doesn’t get lost and interrupted.
Making preparations for your first board meeting is a daunting task regardless of whether you’re a current board member or a candidate for the future. This includes conducting a skills audit as well as identifying a director doppelganger and gaining knowledge of the ins and outs of Robert’s Rules of Order.
Both aspiring directors and directors who are currently in office must be educated. A program for board governance such as NACD’s Accelerate can help you develop your governing skills and prepare you for success in the boardroom.
The course covers all the crucial aspects of proactive governance such as the direction of strategic direction as well as risk oversight and compensation. Participants will be taught the fundamentals of corporate leadership and gain practical experience in a mock boardroom.
