Effective Board Portal Software
A board management system enables committees and boards with powerful security features to collaborate confidently and make strategic decisions, and streamline meeting workflows. However, selecting the right system requires careful consideration, particularly for non-profit organizations. Ask the vendor you are considering to provide you with information about their services and reputation, in addition to the ease of use. You’ll want to know if they offer a responsive customer service, particularly when there’s a problem with the technology after the initial training is completed. Look for vendors that have been endorsed by reputable platforms such as G2, Capterra and Software Advice.
Board of directors meetings should be productive and not stressful.

It is best to distribute meeting materials two to three business days before the board’s meeting.
