Meeting Cadence

No one size fits all. In the early stages of board development, it is common for the entire board to meet monthly in establishing consistency and rhythm. As a board and the relationships mature, the board tends to meet less frequently and more often within the teams that have been established. Meetings should be regular and recurring. Regular — everyone knows when they are, such as the same time of the month or quarter. Recurring — there is a schedule to follow. Teams can then meet between the full board quarterly meetings.


Teams can meet monthly or bimonthly for follow-up and planning. These meetings are facilitated by the team leader and staff.
