BoardEffect Webinar: Using Technology to Better Manage Your Board

Join us for this webinar on e-governance – the latest technology trend sweeping the sector.  E-governance refers to the strategic use of online tools -- such as board portals -- to enhance the effectiveness of board governance.  Board portals provide a secure online space where board members can share resources easily and securely, communicate efficiently, conduct committee and board work between face-to-face meetings, share calendars, and develop a knowledgebase.  The smart implementation of these online tools can result in a board of directors that is actively engaged, informed, and ready to act.  We’ll cover: how to determine your board’s “readiness” to start using online tools for improved communication and collaboration; creating a plan to introduce the new online tools in phases; how to implement online tools for maximum impact (and usage); and how to evaluate the effectiveness of the online tool.  We’ll also explore case studies of board portal usage in the nonprofit sector and the lessons learned so far. This webinar is hosted by Leadership Ventures and will take place on August 12, 2009 from 3:3-5:00pm EST. Click here for more information and to register>
