Eliminate the patchwork of Slack channels, Google Docs, and listservs your chapters use with one governed platform. A central admin pushes documents and compliance forms to every body in the network from one dashboard. Your volunteers signed up for the mission, not for sorting through inboxes.
In partnership with ASAE, OnBoard empowers associations to govern with clarity and purpose
Bring every chapter, council, and committee onto one governance standard with centralized permissions and document push. Today, one chapter uses Slack, another Google Docs, a third is still on a listserv. Head office finally knows where the council minutes live.
Put board materials in front of volunteer directors who didn't sign up for software training with an app simpler than the email chain it replaces. The Almond Board's directors are growers and field workers — and they adopted it. A fingerprint opens the board packet, and the 15-step email process disappears.
Tabulate a 300-delegate vote in real time with electronic voting that drops results straight into the meeting record. Reference committees debate in breakouts, the full body ratifies, and the report is ready before the session adjourns.
Run your full governance lifecycle — packets, permissions, e-signatures, voting, archiving — from a single admin seat. Association teams are lean and dues-funded. Every hour spent on logistics is an hour the mission doesn't get.
By empowering committees with secure, real-time access to critical materials and decisions, OnBoard ensures your leadership drives member value and organizational success.
OnBoard’s award-winning Implementation and Customer Success teams make it easy for every board role - from administrators to directors and executives - to quickly get up and running.

Case Study
OnBoard proves an easy layup for Mothers of Professional Basketball Players, a Westfield, Indiana-based charitable nonprofit organization.
In early 2019 we learned that our platform was going away and it was time to evaluate other offerings. I knew we wouldn't go back to the old way but I needed something that would meet our current needs and be flexible enough to allow us to grow into more features, find new efficiencies, measure engagement....and still come with a price tag that our Board would swallow. OnBoard fits the bill. I LOVE the easy interface for our board and our staff. I LOVE how easy it was to set up and populate. I LOVE the annotation features. I LOVE the messaging feature.

OnBoard is such a simple and intuitive product. As soon as I received access to the product I was able to log in and immediately start building the portal to suit our needs. We had a board meeting very shortly after signing on - I was able to build and circulate the agenda and board materials within the first day of implementing the product.

We love OnBoard! As compared to our previous board portal, OnBoard is so much easier to use, more intuitive, and is an easier collaboration tool. We just held our first board meeting using OnBoard. Its integrated conferencing capability powered by Zoom made the meeting the most efficient and effective virtual meeting yet.

Board Director & CEO
Association boards operate with volunteer directors, rotating terms, frequent committee changes, and governance requirements that don’t pause when board composition shifts. The right platform handles this turnover smoothly: automatic term tracking, committee assignment management, role-based access that updates when directors join or depart, and a searchable archive that preserves institutional memory.
Association governance requires documented decisions, tracked approvals, and defensible records. Every vote, policy change, and board action captured inside the portal creates an audit trail and satisfies both internal auditors and regulatory bodies.
Associations often manage executive committees, finance committees, governance committees, and program-specific subcommittees – each with distinct membership and document access. A strong board portal supports separate committee workspaces with role-based permissions, dedicated agendas, and committee-specific document libraries.
Board portals handle the meeting and decision infrastructure that foundations need: secure document sharing for grant proposals, formal approval workflows, tracked voting on funding decisions, and archived records. While a board portal doesn’t replace grants management software, it ensures the governance layer.
