A board portal to streamline your association’s governance
As an association manager, you know that running an association takes significant time. Between organising board meetings and managing communication, the administrative workload adds up. The Our Cat Herder board portal simplifies your processes and makes your job easier.
Organise Meetings More Efficiently
Preparing for board meetings takes up a large part of an association manager’s time. Our platform helps you reduce the hours you spend on meeting organisation so you can focus on higher-level priorities.
With our built-in agenda builder, you can create professional agendas in a fraction of the usual time. Never start an agenda from scratch again – customise one of our templates (or create your own) for common meeting types like quarterly reviews or annual general meetings. Approval and feedback is also streamlined as board members can comment right in the meeting.
Once your agenda is set, compile and distribute complete board document packages to all attendees. Whether your board packs contain 5 pages or 500 pages, our system makes sharing simple. Documents like your strategic plan, budgets, and policies are stored securely in the cloud so board members can access the latest versions anytime.
Move discussions out of email and into our platform for structured conversations. Board members are notified of new posts directly to their inbox so they stay informed. You control the privacy settings on discussions, and the simple format makes it easy to follow the latest topics.
Between meetings, our decision maker feature lets you handle quick votes digitally. Use the flying-minute template to outline the motion, take a vote, and view the result – no need to call a full meeting. This keeps momentum going on time-sensitive decisions.
Centralise Board Communication and Collaboration
Board communication and document sharing over email is hard to manage. The Our Cat Herder board portal centralises these tasks to keep everyone on the same page.
With cloud-based document storage, board members can access what they need with a click. Keep your strategic plan, budgets, policies, and other files in one place. You can also add comments to collaborate with your board while building board packs.
Our action tracking tools make sure no to-dos fall through the cracks. Capture actions, assign them to board members or staff, and monitor progress. With responsibilities clearly outlined, your board can complete objectives faster.
Manage Board Meetings
When it’s time for your board meeting, our tools help you run a productive session:
-
Record details during meetings with our minute taking tool.
-
Add private notes on board packs and view them in meeting so nothing is missed.
-
Assign actions to the right board members and track completion using our action tracker. With responsibilities clearly defined, tasks get completed faster.
These features simplify your processes so you can spend more time on leadership and strategy.
