Boardable

Game-changing for Boards

Fördelar:

Centralized communication has been key to moving our organization forward. It's helped with accountability and tracking, and allows us to communicate between board meetings. Polls are great for gathering feedback, etc.

Nackdelar:

I want to be able to use Boardable for my committee functions as well. We have started to do this, but find the feature set is limited. I believe this could be fixed by changing the way we look at member, observer, and administrator. In other words, I want my committee members to have member-level access but only within their defined group. As it stands, committee members can't assign meetings, upload files, etc. because they are limited by their user status. Also, file storage can get hairy. There should be more instructions on storing files, attaching them to meetings, access, etc.

Game Changing for Operational Efficiency and Nonprofit Impact

Kommentarer: Prior to using Boardable, our organization had disparate file storage systems and multiple channels of communication. This negatively impacted our ability to operate efficiently, and collect and analyze data. Additionally, every year we have changes on our Board of Directors (people phasing in and out). This meant information was sometimes lost, and we were consistently re-inventing the wheel. Boardable has allowed us to create sustainability for our organization, be more organized and efficient, collaborate more efficiently, and (most importantly) have a greater impact in our community.

Fördelar:

Boardable is extremely user-friendly and easy to use. It's easy to onboard new members and get them up-to-speed quickly. Additionally, customer-informed improvements roll out on a consistent basis, which shows that Boardable not only takes customer feedback seriously, but that they're consistently looking to make it more impactful and easy to use. The ability to streamline things like communications and file storage has had a huge positive impact on operational efficiency and accountability.

Nackdelar:

There's nothing we don't like. We've consistently provided feedback and it has always been addressed.

It's 4 AM in San Francisco, but work hours somewhere and the site seems to be down

Fördelar:

Very accessible, easy to use. Site has been up five of the last six times I've tried to access the in the last couple of weeks.

Nackdelar:

Website is inaccessible; appears to be down but no way to tell. Fortunately, the Board Meeting is not later today and will have time to update. Board meetings are probably pretty important for you too, so it would be good to check on uptime statistics, especially in the time zones where you work, before moving relying on this platform.

Boardable – You make it easy and you listen!

Kommentarer: Wonderful customer service

Fördelar:

I like the Calendar and ease to receive documents

Nackdelar:

Minute taker - I use standard wordprocessing for my minutes.

What a Difference for our Board

Kommentarer: This tool has made my life much easier and our Board loves it. It has saved me time, emails and effort.
Our Board likes that everything is in one place and they don't get their work email cluttered with volunteer activities.

Fördelar:

One of the most fabulous things about Boardable is having everything housed in one system. Our Board members have learned to use the discussions feature to discuss important topics without starting an email chain that goes on for days.

Nackdelar:

I sometimes think there might be too many options and they might miss on a thing or two. For example, I love the classic minutes taker. Not a fan of the new option, but they provide both. However, the classic option doesn't capture those not attending a meeting, just those that are attending and for minutes, you need both.
