The principle of any meeting of the Board of Directors is that it must be an effective conversation that follows procedure and adheres to the course. If you want to propose at such a meeting, you will need to stay within these rules so that your voice is heard and your proposals are taken seriously, regardless of their quality. This is called "put forward a proposal" and is the official way to get your ideas out there. Here are the steps you will go through to do this.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Know What Your Organization Needs

1. 1 Know the rules. Not all organizations use the same rules or require the same level of formality. If your organization maintains written records of preferred methods, read them carefully.
2. 2 Learn by example. Watch other members of your organization make formal proposals during meetings.

Part 2 of 3: Plan your proposal

1. 1 Your proposal should be specific, unique and concise. Include all necessary details and exclude irrelevant ones. Be unambiguous and leave as little room for interpretation as possible.
2. 2 Make blanks. Not everyone can build a proposal exactly the way it is intended, and there is nothing wrong with that. If necessary, write the proposal plan in writing in advance, and carefully consider its submission.
3. 3 Consider your feed. In such situations, individual words are calculated, and the effective presentation of an idea can do its job the way it is perceived and understood.
4. 4 Start your sentence with the words "my sentence... ", you can try to say" I want to offer "for" ... "Or" I want to offer "to" ... "This is the same as saying" I offer ".

Part 3 of 3: Make your proposal

As defined in the Robert Rules of Procedure at: http://www.constitution.org/rror/rror-01.htm

1. 1 Get the floor. Before you can propose, you must get the floor and be recognized as the presiding officer. If you did not follow this step when making your suggestions, then it is less likely that you will be taken seriously.
   • Wait for the word to be received or available at all.
   • Address the presiding officers by their official names, such as "president", "chairman", or "moderator." Refer to men as "Master" and to women (married or unmarried) as "Mistress".
2. 2 Make your offer. This is the moment of truth, but if you are still planning and / or practicing the message (or you have an afternoon coffee), then this is just an exchange of pleasantries.
   • Remember to start with "I want to suggest ..."
   • Refer your proposal to the entire council, not just the chairperson.
   • Submit no more than one sentence at a time.
3. 3 Wait for the support of your proposal. With a few exceptions, all proposals must have the support of another board member. This is to ensure that the board does not waste time evaluating proposals that are worthless, which is why effective support is so important.
   • In a formal setting, they will say something like, "I support the proposals" or even just "I support."
   • In some cases, such as when the general opinion is clear, the presiding officer may skip this step and move on to the next.
4. 4 Allow the presiding officer to approve the question. As soon as your proposal is supported, the presiding officer re-approves it. This is called "asking the question."
   • As long as the presiding officer is engaged in this, then your proposal does not formally participate in the consideration of the management.
5. 5 Participate in debates. After the presiding officer has presented the matter, the Council can discuss it. As a rule, only one member of the Council has the right to speak at the same time, if there are no other “who did not speak”, then each member can speak twice.
   • You can participate in debates.
   • Other members may make secondary proposals to change the primary.
6. 6 Vote. After the discussion has exhausted its potential, the presiding officer will ask who is voting in favor of the proposal and will count the votes.
   • If the number of votes in favor indicates that the votes in the Council are equally divided, then, as a rule, the presiding officer will overrule the negative votes.
7. 7 Allow the presiding officer to announce the results of the vote. The presiding officer will announce the results, instruct the appropriate officer or board member to take action, and present the next item on the agenda.
