If your board members were scattered around the world and required hours of flying and significant financial commitment to arrive at your board meetings, would you alter how you met?  Would you prioritized the agenda the same way?  Would the board packet you sent in advance of the meeting contain more or less information?  Would you invite experts or guests to attend the meeting?  What would you need to accomplish for the meeting to be considered a success?

Sometimes we take the time and commitment of our board members and staff for granted.  If the hurdle to gather the board and professional staff required global travel then perhaps it would alter the outcomes of our meetings.  Would it change your enterprise?
