I want to talk to you today about something that’s been bugging me for a while now: the use of email for board governance. As founder of BoardDirector.co and many organizations are relying on email to manage your board matters, you’re leaving a ton of potential on the table.

Here’s the thing: email is clunky, outdated, and just plain ineffective for modern board governance. You’re dealing with significant decisions, sensitive issues, and a ton of communication that needs to be streamlined and organized. Email can’t do that.

But don’t worry, because I’m not here to complain. I’m here to offer you a solution. And that solution is to start using board management tools and platforms. These tools can help you organize, improve communication, and streamline collaboration in ways that email could never imagine.

Imagine having a centralized platform for sharing documents, scheduling meetings, and tracking actions. Imagine having real-time notifications, secure messaging, and integrated voting and survey features. Imagine being able to collaborate with your fellow board members in a way that’s efficient, effective, and actually enjoyable.

Now, I know what you might be thinking: “But Michael, I’m not a tech person. I don’t know how to use these fancy tools.” Well, let me tell you something: these tools are designed to be user-friendly and intuitive. You don’t need to be a tech guru to use them. All you need is a willingness to try something new, something better.

So, my awesome board members and leaders, I urge you to step up your game. Don’t settle for email when you could use board management tools and platforms to take your board governance to the next level. Trust me. You won’t regret it.

Hey, let me introduce myself. I am Michael Barrick, founder of Board Director and Board Director Institute. I’m excited to tell you about a board management tool that I believe is a game-changer for nonprofit board governance. It’s called BoardDirector.co, and let me tell you, this platform is pretty awesome.

First of all, BoardDirector.co is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. You don’t need to be a tech expert to use it. The platform has a clean and simple design that makes it easy to navigate and use, so you can focus on what really matters: making decisions and moving your organization forward.

But the real magic of BoardDirector.co is in the features. This platform has everything you need to manage your board governance in one place. You can store documents, schedule meetings, share news, and even conduct voting and surveys. And the best part? It’s all secure and auditable, so you can be confident that your information is safe and compliant.

What really sets BoardDirector.co apart, however, is the level of collaboration it enables. With real-time notifications, messaging, and commenting features, you can easily communicate with your fellow board members and keep everyone in the loop. You can also set up committees to work on specific issues with the right people. And if you need to hold virtual meetings, BoardDirector.co integrates with Zoom video conferencing, that’s easy to use and reliable.

Overall, BoardDirector.co is an excellent choice for board governance. It’s a modern, efficient, and effective platform that can help you take your board governance to the next level. So if you’re tired of using outdated and ineffective tools, I highly recommend checking out BoardDirector.co. It could be the key to unlocking your board’s full potential.
