Reset From the Every Day: Benefits of Executive Retreats

Whether indoors or outside, retreats are a great way to break free from normal routines and get people talking and working together in a different setting. According to Clarity Clinic, varying from the normal routine of every day may help to improve brain activity and function, and even help to discourage what is known as “burnout!”

Location Ideas for Retreats

Retreats can be nearly anywhere – from wine country to the rural countryside or a private room at a public restaurant. 

Virtual and hybrid events are also great options, but you’ll have to elevate your engagement game! Creating unique and captivating experiences is key to keeping remote attendees engaged.

How do you know which approach is the best for your event? It boils down to a number of different factors—including your event size, budget, timeline, and the geography of attendees. Each event approach provides its own unique benefits. Together, we can determine which approach is best for your organization.

5 Things to Consider

  • Resolutions: Determine which decisions the board of directors must make during the meeting & draft clear resolutions for review and vote.
  • Treasurer's Report: Include a quick update on the company's financial prospects in every meeting.
  • Committee Reports: If your company has ongoing committee work, allow time for the committees to report their findings.
  • Old Business: Add an item on the agenda for each meeting to update or conclude business from previous meetings.
  • Approval of Old Minutes: Ensure that the minutes of previous board meetings are approved by the board of directors.


Keeping Good Minutes is Important!

According to LegalNature, here’s why:

  • Capture whether the meeting is regular, annual, or special
  • Record the date, time, and place of the meeting
  • Notate all attendee names and when they arrive/leave the meeting
  • Log who presided
  • Keep track of the distributed materials
  • Officiate the action or resolution and final vote on the resolution
  • Inscribe the exact wording of the action or resolution
