The ideal board would be composed of the chairperson, who is responsible for running the meetings as well as representing the board at all events, and one or more vice chairs. This is a crucial position and it’s often those with more experience who are picked for this position. A great chairperson will make the board members feel valued and respected by creating an environment that encourages respectful discussion.
