Board governance glossary
Consent agenda
Also called: consent calendar
Definition
A consent agenda bundles routine, non-controversial items — prior minutes, standing reports, routine renewals — into one motion approved without discussion. Any director can ask to pull an item off consent so it is discussed and voted on separately. It saves meeting time for decisions that need deliberation.
How Prepared Board records it
Recorded in Prepared Board
Agenda items and decisions can be placed on the consent agenda. A voting member can pull an item off consent with an acknowledgment and an optional note; the decision is marked as pulled, with who pulled it and when, and moves to separate deliberation.
