A board portal is an online platform that is secure and houses all your organization’s governance-related documents and information. It allows members to access documents on any device and track the activities of documents. This increases accountability and transparency.

A well-designed board portal will serve as a central repository for all meeting-related documents including audits, committee reports and financials along with agendas and meeting minutes. It should also offer secure file sharing features which allows users to upload and share files with each other. Additionally, it should include an easy-to-use feature for eSignatures that allows signatures on mobile devices or in person, as well as an integrated tool to verify the authenticity of digital signatures.

Whether you’re a private company, non-profit or government agency, board portals offer comprehensive features that make it easier for directors and administrators to manage committees, calendars, surveys, voting, eSignatures/approvals, and more. The best solution is an flexible and robust framework that is able to fit your governance procedures and is able to work the way you work — with meetings dates, votes, and surveys automatically synced with your board members’ calendars.

When selecting a software to manage your board it is important to obtain buy-in from stakeholders early in the process so that they are aware of what to expect and can help with training and adoption. A well-designed portal for boards will ultimately reduce time, increase collaboration and encourage transparency and accountability.
