Attendance is diagnostic. Start treating it that way

If less than half your board shows up to meetings, that's not a scheduling problem. That's a morale problem. This free Excel template gives you the structure to see it clearly and act on it early.

‍

Built from over a decade of board meetings

This isn't a generic spreadsheet. It's everything you'd want in a board attendance tracker from someone who's been in the room.

Rolling 12-month reporting: A living view that updates as you log meetings. Set your anchor date and the numbers adjust.

LOA-adjusted calculations: Members on leave aren't penalized for meetings they weren't expected to attend. Fair math means credible data.

Optional meetings and events: They aren't official board meetings, but they give you insight into board health. Track them separately so you see the full picture.

Board health at a glance: See how your board distributes across attendance bands. Know immediately if you have a few members slipping or a systemic issue.

‍

Your board wants accountability. Give them the structure.

Good board members appreciate knowing what's expected. This tool makes attendance expectations concrete and measurable — so the give/get conversation happens upfront, not after things have already slipped.

Clear expectations prevent harder conversations later.
