An in-camera session is a session with non-executive directors in the absence of the CEO and other executives.
An in-camera session allows the Chair to keep the rest of the board appraised of the main challenges being dealt with and discussed by the Chair and CEO. Directors are provided the opportunity to voice any concerns that they prefer to discuss without the CEO present. The in-camera session serves as an excellent forum for the board to reach a consensus on significant issues. Additionally, the Chair can utilise this time to ensure that the meeting prioritises matters that are most relevant to the directors.
