Is anyone currently using (or been looking into) a Board Management software? We are looking to streamline all of our communication and do what we can to make things as engaging, fun and easy as possible (i.e. checklist/personal dashboard) for our Board.

Hi Sara. We use Board Effect. It is specific to non-profits and is more affordable than some out there. I have used it since 2018 and really love it for my board packages as well as the library for content for our board members. Their support and service is exceptional!
Thank you @RhondaReichert -- I really appreciate this!!!!
@SaraChiabai
A board I have served on uses OnBoard. We love it!
@SaraChiabai , @RhondaReichert ,
We also use Board Effect, but really haven't gotten into all its features. it can do some really neat stuff.
We're sometimes lucky if our members even log in the day of the meeting!
Any tips on integrating the GLM with Board Effect for application evaluation? I'm thinking of moving our evaluation process to BE (our boards complained about having too many platforms in which they must log in --totally get that...) and then having our grant managers transfer that to a very simplified eval form in GLM....
Here's what I'm thinking right now (any suggestions would be much appreciated):
Thanks in advance for your thoughts/suggestions!
Hi Julie. I don't have any tips on integrating. Our whole board does not deliberate on our applications as we have a granting committee. I quite like the GLM and it's too bad they won't get on "board" with you totally! The side by side evaluation works well for our committee members so far; however, we had GLM before Board Effect and they have rolled with all the changes in the past few years.
Best of luck. I love both of these software's and they make my life so much easier!
