Long meetings aren't a sign of thoroughness. They're a sign of poor structure.
Publish the agenda 72 hours in advance with time boxes. Stick to them.
Move open forum to the start, with a hard 15-minute cap. Homeowners feel heard, and the board can focus afterward.
End every item with a named owner and a due date. 'We'll look into it' is not a decision.
