If your land trust’s board meetings are bogged down with reports and updates rather than meaningful discussions, this Inverted Board Agenda approach can help refocus meetings on strategy and mission-driven decisions. By starting with a Mission Moment and a Strategic Issue Discussion, board members engage with the heart of the organization before diving into necessary votes. Routine reports are bundled into a Consent Agenda to streamline the meeting, while updates and announcements are saved for the end. This structure ensures that board meetings are more engaging, productive, and aligned with your land trust’s long-term success.
