The right board management program can save your non-profit organization time and money. There are a variety of ways an updated system will improve your organization’s efficiency in the event that you’re struggling to manage paper documents, endless emails or are looking to streamline your planning and voting processes.

Board portals with a wealth of features allow directors to access all the tools they need all in one place, eliminating the need to collect documents prior to meetings. This includes organizational policies and minutes from previous meetings. It also lets you save documents from meetings and vote results in a single easily accessible location.

A user-friendly interface is essential to allow users to get up and running quickly. Select a solution that has an easy-to-use interface that offers an intuitive user experience and is compatible with your current technology. It should be easy to navigate, and have the possibility of creating customized categories and folders for keeping files in.

Nonprofit stakeholder don’t have lots of spare time, so any efficiencies in the administration of their work can be a huge impact on their capacity to work effectively. A great board portal should also support the needs of working teams and committees as it reduces the necessity of sending documents back and forth with multiple individuals. This can be accomplished by workflows that can identify the participants and their roles (review edits, review, approvals and more) and includes automatic reminders for deadlines that are coming up. Administrators can make time for their work and focus on more strategic matters.
