We invite you to visit the updated site and explore these new features. Contact our support team at 888-587-2665 with questions or for assistance.
Manage Your Committees in BoardBook
You can manage up to 10 committees in BoardBook Premier. This includes the ability to set up different people as Agenda Managers for separate committees, ensuring that each committee only has access to create and edit their own meetings. Download or print this guide to help you get started. You can also attend our Working with Committees Lunch and Learn on September 12 (Add to Calendar) to learn more.
Adding Useful Links to Your BoardBook Account
Did you know that you can add links to your BoardBook account? This is a great place to include links to informational pages that your board may need to regularly access. The links will show up on the right-hand side of the BoardBook home screen. For detailed instructions download or print this guide on using links.
Uploading Extras
Have you ever needed to include files or links that were not related to a specific agenda item? Uploading items under Extras allows you to include additional files or weblinks that will be associated with a meeting in general rather than a specific agenda item. Watch this video tutorial to learn how.
Advanced Features Training
BoardBook Premier offers advanced features to help you manage your meetings more efficiently and effectively. In this training, we will walk through how to use the online document management system, goal management, and electronic voting.
Upcoming Lunch and Learn Webinars
Once a month, join a BoardBook specialist for an in-depth exploration of a specific topic. See live walkthroughs of program tasks and ask questions about program features. Invitations with more details will be sent out the week prior to each workshop.
