A remote board meeting is an online version of the traditional face-toface board meeting. You and other attendees connect through a secure, easy-to-use online platform. Your team can attend the meeting without having to travel or spend money on travel expenses.

The first step to having a successful remote board meeting is to choose the best video conference software that is secure, accessible and filled with useful tools. After you’ve selected the most effective video conference software, make sure to test it prior to the meeting so that all participants are able to start.

It is also recommended to review the rules and regulations of your state that govern remote meetings. There may be the legal implications, so speak to your board’s administrator or lawyer prior to scheduling the meeting.

Another aspect of etiquette during virtual meetings worth considering is to turn off your microphone when you’re not speaking to let other participants listen to the conversation more clear. This can help keep the meeting on schedule by avoiding unnecessary interruptions which can result in frustration for everyone involved.

Last tip: Prior to you begin, make clear goals and deadlines. This way, you can keep the meeting on track and make sure you’ve covered every item on your agenda. This will help you keep remote board members engaged and focused during the meeting.
