Supervisory Board Meeting

I had my first ever supervisory board meeting today. It was to mark the end of the year and to see if I should be recommended to proceed to the next year or not. I was told I’d have to do a 5 minute presentation, but I didn’t give myself much time to prepare one. Luckily, I wangled my way out of it: my board chair asked if I wanted to do one, and I said I’d rather not if I didn’t have to, so he said that because my supervisor, my board advisor and himself have all seen me present before, I needn’t, so I said I wouldn’t. The meeting finished on time - my advisor concluded it was the lack of presentation that did it. The chair went through the form me and my supervisor had had to fill in (separately, of course!), and all went well, so he filled in his bit and said the board recommend I proceed.
