Schedule a Meeting
Propose meeting times, collect votes from attendees, and confirm your next board meeting.
I'mBoard makes it easy to schedule board meetings with built-in time voting — no need for external scheduling tools.
Create a Meeting
- Go to Meetings in the sidebar
- Click New Meeting
- Fill in the details:
- Title (required) — e.g., "Q2 2026 Board Meeting"
- Description (optional) — Brief context or purpose
- Location type — Physical, Virtual, or Hybrid
- Location details — Address for physical, meeting URL for virtual, or both for hybrid
The meeting starts as a Draft, visible only to you.
Propose Time Slots
Instead of picking a single date, propose multiple options and let attendees vote:
- Open the meeting and go to the Scheduling tab
- Click Add Time Slot
- For each slot, set:
- Date and time
- Duration (15 minutes to 3 hours, default is 2 hours)
- Timezone
- Add as many slots as you like
Tip
You can also allow guests to propose their own time slots by enabling guest permissions in the meeting settings.
Collect Votes
Once you announce the meeting (status changes to Planned), board members can vote on each proposed slot:
| Vote | Meaning |
|---|---|
| OK | Can attend |
| Challenging | Possible but difficult |
| Can't | Not available |
You can see a summary of votes for each slot, including who voted and how.
Confirm the Schedule
Once enough votes are in:
- Review the vote summary to find the best slot
- Click Confirm on the winning time slot
- The meeting status changes to Scheduled and the confirmed time is set
