Leading Boards N°1 Basics on Boards of Directors | Page 10
At the Board meeting, the chair of the committee must present the report on the work done and its recommendations to the Board for strategic decision making.
This report must be short, one page, and easy to read. For this it can be divided into three simple parts:
1- Introduction: rapid presentation of the issue, the members of the committee and a brief background presentation.
2- Research: the report presents an overview of the work done( specific searches and considered options)
3- Recommendations: the report should include specific recommendations made by the committee about the studied issue, the reasons for these recommendations, the next steps and estimated costs.
It is very useful to send the report to board members at least one week before the meeting to give them time to read the report and consider recommendations that require a decision. This can be done through the board portal to save time and costs.
