Your Board of Directors Using the Web? Yes!

Linda Barnes - Vice President of Business Development

A board of directors plays a critical role in any organization. They’re responsible for determining an organization’s mission and purpose, overseeing the executive team, setting broad objectives, monitoring financial performance, planning, and allocating resources. Adding to those challenges, board members typically are not full-time employees and have other responsibilities. So it’s pretty critical to allow them to share confidential information from remote locations in a way that is easy, immediate, secure, efficient and financially responsible. Oh, and if it aligns with your green initiative, that’s even better.

Enter the board extranet. With the right software, you can use the Web to improve communications with your board of directors. It fulfills the whole list of requirements, and it’s easy to track the results to prove return on investment (ROI).

Many of you are thinking, “OUR board? Using the Web?” Absolutely. We have testimonials from our clients about how their board members are becoming increasingly tech-savvy, love the convenience and portability, and are pleased with the savings.

We recently posted a case study on our website about the success Southern Regional Health System experienced with their board of directors extranet. Read it for yourself. Just maybe, after your board experiences first-hand the value of targeted online communications, they’ll be more receptive to your budget request for a site redesign, new content management system or patient portal.
