ORGANIZATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS

BOARD MEETINGS

The board of directors meet every 2 months. Emergency meetings does not form the part of scheduled bimonthly meetings. The main reason for frequent meetings is to allow the board of directors to make decisions. However, meetings also perform a range of other important functions, providing a forum where: Board members meet regularly to focus on their roles and responsibilities, identify issues and plan for the future.


At each meeting, the organization’s Executives Director (ED) should be present to provide the board with feedback on the organization’s progress. The ED also communicates the decisions of the board of directors to the employees of the organization. In some cases, a project manager must attend the meeting. First when pitching a project to the board for approval and provide clarification if there are errors in the project report.

2. HOW DECISIONS ARE MADE

The formal decision-making process is done at a meeting of the board of directors. First, the admin gives a motion to approve a specific action or rule. The directors formally vote on the action.  

The votes needed to take the action (majority or supermajority) are determined by statutes. The Secretary-General records the votes and decisions of the board of directors. After that, the board of directors formally approves all actions by passing meeting minutes. Another method of the board of directors (or shareholders) is through consent. 

Consent is the formal, written vote of council members to pass an action. Many business decisions made by consent must receive unanimous support.
