About this Board Meeting Brief one pager template

Directors arrive with a thick pack and little time, so the best meetings start with one page. This board meeting brief leads with four numbers on where the organization stands, then a table of the decisions needed today, each with its owner and a recommendation. A checklist shows progress since the last meeting, including what slipped, and a final section says what to read first, who takes questions and how to dial in. Executive directors, CEOs and board secretaries send it with the agenda for credit unions, nonprofits, schools and companies. The board spends its time on decisions instead of catching up.
