For over 100 years, Atlantic Street Center has supported marginalized families in Seattle. But as its programs grew, so did the complexity of managing board operations.
The challenge: Preparing for meetings meant chasing documents, merging PDFs, and sending endless emails — sometimes taking 10+ hours per board book. Inefficient systems kept the board focused on logistics, not leadership.
The solution: In March 2025, Atlantic Street Center adopted BoardEffect. With AI Smart Summary, members can quickly grasp key points from 100-page board books, arriving better prepared for meaningful discussions. Automation tools streamline workflows, from agenda building to compliance tracking, while robust security ensures peace of mind.
The results:
✅ 10 hours saved per board book through automation
✅ Board members arrive better prepared thanks to AI summaries
✅ Meetings shortened, freeing time for strategic conversations
✅ Compliance processes digitized—no more manual tracking
“BoardEffect easily saves me about 10 hours per book. Everything is built, updated and shared in one place.” — Michael Oaks, Executive Assistant and Board Liaison
