We’ll cover:

• What OPMA says about where board business should happen (hint: not in email threads or shared docs)
• The role of the chair in keeping meetings focused, timely, and transparent
• How board members can prepare, engage, and contribute meaningfully
• Why sending packets early and sticking to the agenda builds trust
• Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
