It's very helpful if the Exec committee meets prior to the chapter business meeting. The business meeting agenda gets set, plus a lot of plans can be made there then simply announced to the chapter. Not everything needs to be a chapter-wide discussion/vote. That's the sort of thing that tends to turn meetings into "free-for-alls" and/or drag on forever.
Something we do, anyone who wishes to make an announcement or address the chapter must attend the Exec Comm meeting to be placed on the agenda. If they can't make it due to a scheduling problem, they need to tell the EVP the specifics of what they'll say before the committee meeting. This limits the random discussions that can pop up and disrupt things.
Speaking of chapter-wide discussions and votes, announce limits before they start. For example allow X amount of pros and cons or specify the length of time allowed. Then after that, call for a vote.
