I support a Board and need to know what comes next.
Practical tools and education for the people behind Boards, committees and governance — whatever kind of organization you work in. The Board cycle behaves the same way in a nonprofit, an association, a health authority, a school board, a public body or a corporate boardroom.
Written for every role that keeps a Board running.
Boardroom Ready Admin Kit™
A repeatable Board meeting system: backwards-planning checklist and timeline, minutes template, and an action item tracker you can use from the next cycle onward.
The parts of the job nobody hands you instructions for.
Preparing the meeting
Working backwards from the meeting date so the package, materials and confirmations land on time.
Writing the minutes
Recording decisions as a governance record — accurate, consistent and defensible years later.
Tracking motions
Keeping a register so any decision can be traced to its meeting, wording and outcome.
Closing action items
What was directed, who holds it, when it is due, and what closed it.
Supporting committees
Terms of Reference, membership, reporting lines and the rhythm each committee needs.
Holding the annual cycle
Recurring approvals, reviews, filings and reporting mapped across a full governance year.
Step-by-step guidance for the work between meetings.
Board administration is a profession, not a clerical task.
More practical content, templates, meeting-cycle tools and career resources are released as they are completed. If you also work within First Nations, Inuit or Métis governance, our Indigenous governance specialization goes further into that context.
