Should you survey your board members to find out if meeting logistics are preventing their attendance?
Yes! This is a great way to be more inclusive. Here’s a sample board meeting evaluation you can customize for your board.
Should you hold the occasional virtual meeting?
Yes, if your state nonprofit laws allow it. If board members are not coming because of logistics, they can still take part via a virtual meeting.
