Headquartered in Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry serves 10,000 member businesses of all sizes and industry sectors throughout the state, from sole proprietors to Fortune 100 companies. With a large board and layers of committees and subsidiary boards comprising over 100 members, the chamber needed a way to streamline board communications, management processes and keep everyone engaged and informed.

Their challenges were numerous:

• Without a centralized platform for board business, the chamber found it a challenge to efficiently organize meeting logistics, and to prepare and distribute board packets for meetings.
• Getting board members to sign documents, such as conflict-of-interest forms, was a process that involved uploading and downloading signable PDFs.
• In addition, tracking down signatures and ensuring that members had included the correct information and filled them out correctly was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
• Consistent board communication was also a challenge to keep such a large board (and their assistants) engaged and informed.

The complexities of communicating with and engaging a large board have been simplified with BoardEffect. The platform is now the single source for information, and board members and their assistants don’t have to search through old emails for what they need, saving time.

“It’s life-changing. I don’t even know how I would still be working here if I didn’t have some sort of platform to help ease this whole process.” – Carissa Burgett, board administrator and assistant to president and CEO
