Video #5 explores support techniques that members of a board of directors may need to participate more effectively. Facilitation is an accommodation with a primary purpose of supporting a member to contribute his or her voice to board business. A facilitator prepares with the member by reviewing meeting materials and planning how to support participation at the meeting. During meetings, the facilitator assists discreetly by helping the member ask questions, express opinions, and follow meeting processes. A volunteer mentor who is a member of a board or committee is another way to support a member to learn about and manage their role.
