Overall Satisfaction with OnBoard Board Management Software
Our college uses OnBoard to allow our board of trustees to have instant access to safe and secure board materials. The portal allows the board members to remain engaged. This service also allows me, as administrator, to keep track of board terms, contact information, etc that I used to have to keep track of manually using a variety of different spreadsheets and folders. We currently have 20 board members and they find OnBoard to be very easy to use.
- Secure board materials - the administrator can control what board members see what materials.
- Contact information - email and mailing addresses are readily available.
- Board terms - term lengths for every board member is tracked through the system.
- Meeting feedback - simple surveys are sent immediately after a meeting to get feedback from meeting attendees for future planning.
- Most all of the areas that we needed to more effectively manage our board meetings are included now.
- Board Roles and Term information
- Meeting feedback
- Access to resources from the Association of Governing Boards
- Almost total elimination of hard copies for board materials.
- Board engagement is better between board meetings.
- Board materials remain safe and secure.
After researching and using other board management software, I recommended OnBoard to our administration and board leadership because of their partnership with the Associate of Governing Boards (higher education) and the features that came with our initial package. Many of the products I researched only offered slick board books and didn't have the administrative features we were looking for in a board portal. Since we selected them, OnBoard has added new features once or twice a year. They offer monthly webinars to help promote or use new products, hear feedback from other users on utilizing features and other such topics.

Using OnBoard Board Management Software
60 - Each of our board members, the President's cabinet and faculty, student and alumni representatives to trustee committees have access to meeting materials through OnBoard. Access to confidential information can be made accessible to board members only. We can post campus announcements or reports to the Annoucement feature that keeps everyone engaged between meetings.
2 - There is one administrator for the software on our end. That person needs to know how to use the various features of the software. We also have one (or possible more) IT people who have access to the back-end of our portal to run reports for management on user activity.
- Secure storage for board materials.
- Board access to materials any time of day or night.
- The capability for board members to interact with other committee members within the portal.
