The committee chair should highlight for the board the process that the committee followed in reaching the recommendations offered. There is no bigger waste of time than a board that continually tries to second guess its executive. Board members who have questions about management should bring that to the attention of the president of the board. The president should request the board member to write their concerns down and then give the executive an opportunity to respond in writing to that particular board member and to the president of the board. Keep meetings on track.
Board members oftentimes deviate from the agenda.
The president cannot let this happen. Meetings can easily get out of hand and go beyond a reasonable time period. Frequently, nothing gets accomplished at these meetings. Once a subject is brought up, ask for a motion and then discuss die issue. Don't discuss the issue and then ask for a motion.
