As the pandemic grows it becomes more difficult for board members of nonprofit organizations to meet in person to discuss crucial questions and offer strategic guidance. In response, more and more organisations are conducting virtual meetings in the midst of the crisis. Although it might seem like an inconvenience but it could be a fantastic opportunity for non-profit organizations to improve the efficiency of their meetings and effective.

Meetings on the internet are not only more cost-effective, but also more comfortable for attendees. There is no traffic to beat, tight meeting schedules to coordinate or travel stress which can cause participants to be distracted during the meeting. This increases the probability of board members attending virtual meetings and taking part in discussions.

Moreover, a good software for managing meetings permits you to record and archive your meetings. Even if you are unable to attend the meeting in person, you can still view the minutes and documents later. You can then go through and assess your decisions and actions after the meeting.

To ensure that your virtual meetings are as productive as possible it is important to plan the meeting ahead of time. It is crucial to ensure that everyone is able to attend the meeting at a time convenient for them. It is also essential to ensure that everyone calls from a quiet place to reduce background noise. It is also crucial to conduct a roll call at the start of the meeting to ensure there is a sufficient quorum. Finally, you should use the meeting tool’s voting features to ensure that the meeting is a success and avoid having to resort to verbal or virtual “show of hands” votes.
