The American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) is the credentialing body for over 7,500 certified genetic counselors. ABGC’s volunteer-led board upholds the highest standard in certification, with its Certified Genetic Counselor (CGC®) credential required for licensure across 36 states. To achieve their mission — protecting the public through rigorous standards and strong leadership — they needed a smarter way to manage board operations, data security and collaboration.
Before BoardEffect, board members shared sensitive documents including financial records via email, often storing material on personal devices. Tracking down information or accessing meeting context was difficult, and with 13 committees involving external members, keeping documentation secure and organized was a major headache.
Implementing BoardEffect gave ABGC a single, secure location for all board work. Now, historical documents and financial records are organized, easily retrievable, and accessible only to those with approved permissions. Document access can be revoked instantly when members leave, and controls ensure certain files can’t be printed or shared.
With BoardEffect, ABGC has revolutionized board operations:
“These tools have streamlined access to critical information, improved collaboration and ensured data security across all board activities.” - Heather Rich, Executive Director
