NEW! Discount on board portals provided by BoardEffect and BOARDnetWORK

More and more nonprofit boards are adopting board portals to deliver materials to their members and to expedite the flow of information between their chief executives, staffs, and members.

A Web-based, online workspace, a board portal is devoted exclusively to the board, offering confidential access to board materials and tools that make it easier to prepare for meetings. Typically, a board portal also greatly reduces the time and cost of producing and managing board materials and scheduling board work.
