A well-designed board management program can save your nonprofit organization time and money. There are many ways an updated system will help regardless of whether you’re struggling to manage paper documents, endless emails or if you’re looking to simplify your voting and planning processes.

The board portals that feature a variety of features let your directors review all the tools they need all in one location eliminating the need for papers to be sorted out prior to meetings. This includes documents for your organization, minutes from previous meetings, and much more. It also lets you store the results of your meetings and documents from post-meetings in a single, easily accessible place.

An intuitive interface is essential to help users get up and running quickly. Choose a product with an easy-to-use design that provides an easy user experience that is compatible with your current technology. It should be simple to navigate and include the ability to create custom categories and folders to use for keeping files in.

The non-profit community is often busy and any efficiency in administrative tasks will have a major impact on their ability to function effectively. A well-designed board portal should also support the needs of working groups and committees by reducing the need to send documents back and forth to many people. This can be achieved with workflows that define individuals and their tasks (review, editing, approvals and more) and includes automatic reminders for upcoming deadlines. This lets admins take their time and concentrate on more strategic issues.
