Remote board meetings are a virtual version, or virtual face-toface board meetings, where you can communicate with other attendees using an easy-to-use, secure online platform. Instead of spending time or cash on travel expenses members of your team can join the meeting from the comfort of their home or office.

The first step in having a successful remote meeting is to choose the best video conferencing software. It should be secure, accessible and come with a range of useful tools. When you’ve chosen the right one, be sure to do a test run before the meeting to ensure that all participants are aware of it and can get started quickly.

It’s recommended to read the rules and rules of your state regarding remote meetings. There could be legal restrictions which you’ll need to take into account and so make sure you check with your board’s administrator or attorney to ensure you’re a compliance before scheduling a remote meeting.

Another aspect of etiquette in virtual meetings worth implementing is to turn off your microphone when you’re not talking to let other participants listen to the conversation more clearly. This helps keep the meeting on track by avoiding interruptions which can cause frustration for everyone.

Additionally, it is important to set clear goals and time limits for the meeting before you begin. It will help you keep the meeting on track and finish the agenda items. This will keep board members on the phone and focused during the meeting.
