Board Management Software for Nonprofits
Board Management Software
A high-quality board management tool isn’t just for administrators and board members however, it can also be used by committees, subsidiaries and other working groups within your company to ensure that everyone’s time is effectively used and that their work is safe. Non-profits looking to maximize their investment in this technology should find a partner who can provide training and support, so the transition is as simple as possible for those who aren’t familiar with electronic tools.
The best board portals are paperless and offer an online solution for all meeting-related tasks like scheduling, editing and disseminating agendas and documents, logging minutes, observing regulatory requirements (depending on your industry) and managing meetings. These systems let your group communicate and connect with each other in a way that is easy to access, flexible and safe, even without internet access.
Preparing for Board meetings often requires a mountain of documents that are printed and bound that are a waste of money and is not good for the environment. Instead, the most effective board management software allows you to share and mark up your meeting materials online, which helps save on printing and binders, and can be stored indefinitely for future reference.
The most effective software offers granular access and permission control to ensure that only the appropriate people can see your materials. This protects you from cyber threats which are increasingly affecting non-profit organizations like phishing attacks and data breaches. In addition, they have two-factor authentication as well as remote wipe that quickly erases all information stored on devices that have been stolen or lost.
