News & Insights

Conducting board business requires organization and collaboration. Board members receive a vast amount of information in anticipation of board meetings, and often they have to take care of additional business between meetings. Some boards are turning to digital options for organizing, collaborating, and disseminating information.

Boards may need tools for assisting in this move to digital business. One tool is the board portal -- software that organizes and disseminates information. There are many options for board portal software, so how do you know which one is right for your board? Idealware, an organization that helps nonprofits make software decisions, just released “A Consumer’s Guide to Board Portals,” a comprehensive guide to the different options available.
