How directors conduct themselves at the board table has a big influence on the success and effectiveness of meetings and thus on the performance of the organisations they serve.  Indiscretions can be small and aggravating or big and adversely influential from subverting good governance practice to blatant bullying and everything in between.  However everyone is responsible for their behaviour and should understand they will be called to account if the rules of engagement aren’t adhered to.

This session will address meeting etiquette, what it encompasses, the place of the code of conduct or board charter, and the role of the chair in setting and maintaining standards.
