But just because they’re important that doesn’t mean you know them all by name… Or whether they paid their membership dues this year… Or even what kind of a membership they have.

Nearly everyone who works in a non-profit or association has sat through a board meeting that went off-topic or ran over time. It usually isn’t a big deal if the board and staff present have the extra time. In fact, sometimes the off-topic conversations or additional time end up being the most productive part of the meeting. But board meetings that routinely go over time or off-topic could end up causing organizational problems.
