    Govenda
    • Voting -- there should be a mechanism for board members to vote through the system
    • Minutes -- meeting minutes should automatically be generated based on attendance and online voting
    • Public Facing Page -- we need to publish our agendas and minutes on our website. I would like it if there was a way we can put links on our website to BoardBookit.

    Other than initial setup, we haven't really needed support. I do wish that they would roll out more features.

    • It makes me, as the Executive Director, present a professional image during board meetings.
