Meetings

Short month - short Blog!
February always seems to get bad press, squished between January (recovering from Christmas and excited about new year) and March (St. Patrick’s Day and build-up to Easter).
February may be a short month but it as good a time as any to consider how your Board is operating. Do not be tempted to let your Company’s Board Meetings become same old, same old.
Dates Make sure you have dates of all the Board Meetings to be held in 2024 in your diary.
Agenda Are the Agenda items relevant and add value to the meeting?
Board Pack Does it arrive in time for a good read before the meeting, is the information timely and pertinent?
Presenters Does the Board only see the same Team member making the same presentation which has just become blah, blah, blah?
An actively engaged Board is vital for any company. Helping Directors to stay engaged and positive throughout a Board Meeting is an absolute win – win for all.
Virtual Annual General Meetings still allowed in 2023
The Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Covid-19) Act came into being during the Pandemic when restrictions on travel within Ireland, flights into Ireland and inability to attend public gatherings led to fairly substantial practical problems for many companies. The implementation of the Act resolved some of those problems not least being the ability for a company to convene its Annual General Meeting virtually.
In December 2022 the Government announced the extension of some parts of the Act to the end of this year (31.12.2023). In particular, certain company meetings (including Annual General Meetings) can still be held virtually. This will be welcome news to many companies who prefer this format although there is nothing to stop a company holding a physical meeting if they wish to do so.
