A reminder for an upcoming board meeting is a great way to ensure that participants are informed and prepared for an event. It typically contains essential details such as the title of the meeting date, time, and the location (or virtual platform) along with pertinent agenda items. Additionally, it is a gentle reminder encouraging participants to organize their schedules and go over any materials. A well-crafted reminder can be sent frequently using templates and tools that encourage participants to attend scheduled meetings, and to emphasize the importance of such engagements.
Make sure to consider the following points when creating an effective and compelling meeting reminder:
Use an encouraging tone to get recipients to respond or confirm attendance. ensure you send clear and concise email copy that contains all relevant details. Also, be sure to include the link to the meeting and/or the platform’s details to lessen the likelihood of miscommunication or oversight.
It is best to send reminders at a strategic intervals, like one week prior to the meeting, then another reminder a day prior and finally one last reminder on the day before the event. This can help to reduce the amount of time that is necessary to prepare for the meeting, as well in increasing the odds of the meeting being successful.
