The right board management software can help your nonprofit organization save time and money. There are many ways that the new system can improve your organization’s efficiency in the event that you’re struggling to manage email inboxes, paper documents or need to streamline your planning and voting processes.
Board portals with a wealth of features let your directors review all the tools they need in one location, eliminating the need for papers to be sorted before meetings. This includes organizational policies as well as minutes from previous meetings. It is also possible to store all documents from meetings and vote results in one location.
A user-friendly interface is essential for users to get up and running quickly. Choose a program that is easy to use, provides an experience that is familiar to users and is compatible with existing technology. It should be easy to navigate and allow you to create custom folders and categories to store your files.
Nonprofits are usually busy and efficient administrative tasks will have a major impact on their ability to function efficiently. A good board portal must be able to meet the requirements of working teams and committees by reducing the necessity of sending documents back and forth to several people. This is possible with workflows that can identify the individuals and their tasks (review and editing, approvals and more) and includes automatic reminders for deadlines that are coming up. This gives admins more time to focus on strategic issues.
