Your board can get ahead by keeping in mind the positives and negatives. In-person board meetings may have once been your only option, but Zoom and other videoconferencing platforms provide convenient alternatives that can give your organization's board of directors more ways to host various types of meetings.
Quorum of Meeting Section 174 (1) of the Act provides that the quorum for a board meeting of a company shall be one-third of its total strength or two directors, whichever is higher, and the participation of the directors by video conferencing or by other audio visual means shall also be counted for this purpose.
In short, yes. Non Board members can attend meetings. There are a number of reasons you might want to have this policy. Perhaps you need to invite senior staff members of your organisation.
Virtual board meetings: These involve participants who interact via video conferencing tools. While the term “virtual” often implies a digital format, it specifically refers to meetings where members are present in a digital environment but not physically together.
Section 173(2) of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that a director may participate in a board meeting in person or through video conferencing or through audio-video visual means. Clearly, then, a director has three alternative methods to attend board meeting.
Many board members participate in informal meetings, unknowingly or otherwise. Social gatherings are particularly common events where informal meetings happen. Because informal or “working” meetings are not always permitted by law or by the governing documents, participating in them can be a slippery slope.
The law of corporations in most states allows a vote of the board of directors by written consent, so a board of directors could use an online forum for discussion and take action (that is, vote) in writing. Check the corporation’s bylaws and state law, however, as the written consent may have to be unanimous.
This formal meeting is held to establish key operational and governance structures of the board. It often includes critical discussions and decisions that shape the company's initial path, such as adopting bylaws, appointing officers, and setting up financial accounts.
When addressing the board, always use the title Mr. Chairman” or Madam Chairwoman.” If you are unsure of the proper title, Board of Directors” is always acceptable. When speaking to the board, always refer to them as sir” or ma'am.”
