The right software for managing your board will help your nonprofit save time and money. There are many ways that a new system can improve your organization’s efficiency regardless of whether you’re struggling to manage the piles of paper documents, endless emails or need to reduce the time spent on process of planning and voting.

Board portals with a wealth of features allow your directors to review all the tools they require in one place, eliminating the need for documents to be corralled before meetings. This includes minutes of organizational policies, minutes from previous meetings, and more. It also lets you save post-meeting documents and voting outcomes in one easy-to-access location.

An intuitive interface is essential to help users get up and running quickly. Choose a solution with an easy-to-use layout that provides an intuitive user experience and is compatible with your existing technology. It should be easy to navigate and allow you to create custom folders and categories to store your files.

The non-profit community is often busy, so any efficiency in administrative tasks will have a major impact on their ability to operate efficiently. A well-designed board portal can also support the needs for committees and work groups, reducing the need for documents to be sent back and forth among multiple people. This can be achieved with workflows that list individuals and their tasks (review and editing, approvals and more) and provide automatic reminders for upcoming deadlines. This allows admins to concentrate on strategic concerns.
