Board Management Software
Board governance software is a computer tool that aids directors’ boards as well as their administrative staff with meeting preparation and document sharing, recording minutes and keeping track of the unique legal requirements of your industry. Utilizing a dedicated board portal such tools can help to streamline meetings, decrease administrative burdens and increase efficiency. These tools aren’t only useful for boards but also for non-profits as well as missions-driven organizations.
Many people think that software for managing boards is only available to the board of directors. However the tools are available to any group within the organization, such as committees and working parties. Find a partner that offers group training, and helps your other groups become proficient on the software. This is a crucial factor in establishing buy-in, and making sure that everyone utilizes the software to the fullest extent executing nonprofit fundraising goals possible.
When evaluating solutions, consider how easy they are to use for both administrators and directors. You want a solution that is easy to use for the average user, but robust and secure to protect against cyber-attacks that threaten all kinds of organizations. Look for features that provide specific permissions, like access control that lets you assign roles to different contributors. This will make it easier to avoid the problem that some organizations face where employees have access to more than they should.
