Organizations often invest tons of effort in recruiting new board members but gloss over orientation. Given recruitment generally occurs year-round – directors come onto a board while it’s in state of play. You don’t want to lose board meeting productivity every time a new recruit arrives.
A little time spent onboarding new members, can pay off quickly in how effectively directors contribute in their first year. Before new directors attend their first meeting, provide a good briefing and orientation on how to prepare for and participate in Board meetings, committees and vital decisions of the organization. Director ramp up can be relatively easy, especially if you are using a board portal, here are five tips for best director engagement.
