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 .
