Most board work is done in meetings, either with the full board or in committees. The board president is responsible for ensuring that meetings are well organized and begin and end at a scheduled hour. We can’t think of anything that damages board effectiveness more than poorly organized meetings that don’t stay on topic and that continue late into the night. Nonprofit board members are volunteers; they aren’t being paid by the hour.

Ultimately, however, part of the president’s job is to see that board members have the information they need to make good decisions and that they do so in a reasonable amount of time.
