The right software for managing your board can help your nonprofit save time and money. There are a variety of ways an updated system will make a difference, whether you’re struggling to manage email inboxes, paper documents or are looking to streamline your voting agenda template and planning processes.

Board portals with a wealth of features allow directors to access all the tools they require all in one place, eliminating the need to gather documents prior to meetings. This includes the organizational policies, minutes of previous meetings, and so on. It is also possible to store all the minutes of meetings and voting results in one location.

An intuitive interface is essential for users to get up and running quickly. Select a software that is simple to use, provides an easy experience for users and is compatible with existing technology. It should be simple to navigate and allow you to create custom categories and folders for storing your files.

The non-profit community is often busy and any efficiency in administrative tasks will have a major impact on their ability to work efficiently. A good board portal must be able to meet the requirements of working groups and committees, reducing the need to transfer documents back and forth with many individuals. This can be achieved with workflows that list participants and their tasks (review edits, review, approvals and more) and include automatic reminders for deadlines. This allows administrators more time to focus on strategic issues.
