About Govenda

Board Success Platform for Corporate Governance.

Key benefits of Govenda

  • Sign off on important decisions with Govenda's electronic signature feature which provides a secure and efficient way for members to sign documents, with the same legal standing as handwritten ones.

  • Store documents securely and set access permissions for individual members to decide who can access, annotate, and make notes on documents.

  • Benefit from single sign on, allowing members of multiple boards to toggle between organizations without having to log into a separate account.

  • Create board books using a rich suite of tools allowing users to read, annotate, print and email documents. With one-page board book creation for admin, users can drag & drop agenda items to create board books.

  • Schedule meetings and use custom polls to find the most suitable moment by suggesting dates/times and monitoring member responses. Members can RSVP to meetings which automatically sync to personal or business calendars when confirmed.

    Reviewed on 2019/08/21

    Pros

    The ease of implementation and use combined with the cost effective solution offered, I would recommend this to any non-profit.

    Pros

    The ability to streamline our board communications, meeting materials and scheduling is amazing. With the platform being accessible via web browser on any computer and via app for most mobile devices, implementation has been quick and seamless. The setup was smooth and ease of use has been great for our board of directors.

    Cons

    The only limitation we've found thus far is the lack of integrated video. Having to use another tool to host our virtual meetings adds a layer of complexity, but we're hopeful that BoardBookIt will soon release a video solution for an even better experience.

    BoardBookIt is a wonderful tool for our board to stay connected and on top of things. We are happy that we decided on this portal and purchased it. We find customer service helpful whenever needed. Thanks for this helpful platform to bring our non-profit closer and more productive.

    Pros

    I like how easy the site is both for admin and user. The price is great for our small non-profit and the features are just what we need to keep us connected.

    Cons

    I would like to see some chat features to help further communication.

    Use BoardBookit for Brown-act compliant board meetings at charter school

    Reviewed on 2019/05/10

    Pros

    BoardBookit has allowed our school to run more organized and efficient board meetings. We are able to put items on the agenda during the month. The software organizes all out attachments and creates PDFs of the agenda that we can post online and at our site. It also complies the full board book. Board members can go online and annotate the board book as they prepare for the meetings. During the meetings, we can project all the documents for the public.

    Cons

    Four things that would make this software perfect:

    1. Presentation mode needs some improvement. The idea is that the presenter can control other board member's screens.

    2. Public facing portal. Right now we have no connection between our website and BoardBookit. It would be great if Boardbookit could automatically publish agendas on the website.

    3. A full screen option for attachments when projected. Right now, the full screen version doesn't actually fill the whole screen making detailed financials hard to see when projected.

    4. Conferencing connection / audio recording. We record our meetings and often have a dial in number. It would be great if we could record and store audio recordings in board book it.

    Response from Govenda

    Hi Kapil, Thank you for taking the time to review BoardBookit! It's wonderful to hear that our platform has enhanced organization and made it easier to create board books! I'll be sure to pass along your suggestions regarding presentation mode, public facing options, and conference recording on to our engineering team for future updates!
