As board members return to meetings in person meeting in hybrid format, hybrid board meetings are the new standard. This new model allows members to meet in person and remotely at the same time which reduces costs and increases accessibility. Whether your organization opts for virtual meetings, in-person meetings with remote participants or both, it’s vital to establish meeting rules and expectations to ensure that everyone feels respected. The best way to do this is to ensure the technology is optimally optimized and establishing clear guidelines for participation and communication with a purpose.

Hybrid board meeting are not without challenges. Certain board members may be discontented that they aren’t able to interact in the same room, or feel that their contributions are not as meaningful because they are unable to provide a face-to-face perspective to their peers commentaries. Meeting experts recommend that you take proactive measures that support collaboration. This includes opening virtual rooms to encourage interaction before and during meetings, as well as during breaks. You can also utilize tools like boards portals to help centralize the work of your board.

A frequent issue is different levels of technical expertise among board members. Some remote participants may not be included in the meeting, or their participation may be impeded by poor video or audio quality or the inability to connect to the internet. You can help your board navigate these issues by training them on how to use technology and making sure they have reliable equipment available before the meeting.
