What is an Organizational Meeting?
An organizational meeting is the first formal meeting for a newly formed board, committee, or other governing body. It is the meeting that allows the group to specify leadership roles, delineate decision-making processes, and establish key operating ground rules. Sometimes, it is called an inaugural meeting, a turnover meeting, a board organization meeting, or a post-election meeting. Regardless of the name, the function is the same: establishing order and clarity from the onset.
