Board and committee meetings are called to achieve results. Not every board meeting is a success. Through continuous evaluation, the meetings can be improved. Before adjourning or immediate after, ask directors a simple question: “How would you rate this meeting? On a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the most effective, best) circle your number. Anybody rating below seven should explain why the meeting did not seem effective.”
