# US Nonprofit Board Meeting Requirements

You may also want to review this more general guidance on [board members](/v1/docs/nonprofit-board-member).

Charity and nonprofit organizations should have at least one annual meeting during the year and should cover the following items:

- Election, addition, or removal of directors or board members
  - Note that most US regions require at least three board members to remain compliant.
  - Evaluation of the overall structure of the board
    - Are there enough board members?
    - Does the board have the right board members?
    - Changes to [registered agent](/v1/docs/us-registered-agent)?
  - US states do not require board members to be residents of the state or US citizens to be board members.
- Review of the executive director
  - Review and update their performance, duties, compensation
- Review of the nonprofit's financials
  - This includes the year's financials and future planned budget
- Review of the nonprofit's activities and programs
  - Any big plans or changes
  - List potential risks to the organization and plans to mitigate
- Updates or changes to the bylaws
