CEO Report Template & Guide

BoardPro’s free CEO report template and guide will help you set up your board meetings for success. Directors say that the CEO report is the most important document in the board pack, making it vital to get it right. Not only is this document important for directors, but it provides you as CEO the opportunity for a retro as well as planning for the future. 

Our detailed PDF guide covers the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of the CEO report. It invites you to consider questions which will help you deliver an excellent report to the board. These questions fall into three main categories: Past, Future, and Implications.

  • What has gone well, what hasn’t gone so well?
  • What opportunities can we identify for future development?
  • Do we need to make any adjustments for the implications of our plans?

Ensure that you cover all categories to create a balanced and well thought out CEO report. The answers to these questions should ideally take up only one A4 page. That’s where our template comes in!

Using BoardPro’s template takes the guesswork out of your CEO report.

  • How should I format my report?
  • How long should it be?
  • Which section should go first?

These seemingly small questions take up lots of valuable time better spent elsewhere. 

With BoardPro’s template and guide, you don’t have to start from scratch. Be prepared, feel confident, and provide a professional CEO report.

What Our Customers Say on G2

"We use BoardPro for all our meetings and not only is it easy for us, it's proven to be easy to navigate with our not so tech savvy members as well! It's organized, it looks amazing when auditors need to confirm our minutes, and it's just THAT useful. All around amazing!"
Ericka P
Secretary, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)
"This is an excellent board tool. Mobility, no paper, ease of navigation, brilliant note options. The ability to quickly find previous papers and minutes is also very helpful for accountability."
Paul M
Chairman, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
"BoardPro has proven itself indispensable. The structured approach makes it easy to compile agendas and Board packs and then use this same structure for creating well-organised minutes. Being able to search for previous decisions and minutes, as well as easily keep tabs on actions is fantastic. The reminders that BoardPro sends out keep everyone on task, without the Board Secretary needing to be too involved."
Virginia C
Board Secretary, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
Staying at the top of your professional game! In the past, preparations for Board meetings were a nightmare as there were always literally mountains of paperwork to prepare, photocopy and share with Board members. This was such a tedious task, not to mention not great for the environment. Now, with BoardPro, all meeting documents are virtual and there is no longer any need for photocopying and wasting so much paper. This has cut our meeting cost down significantly.
Arieta D
Human Resource & Compliance, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)
Completely changed our board meetings! The software drastically improves organization of documents and communication before and after meetings. It gives us a central place for recording and reviewing minutes. We use the action items feature extensively, which automates everything so nothing slips through the cracks. The technical support is impressive.
