What
is a Virtual Board Room |
A
Virtual Board Room is a meeting place for your Board Members to
review, discuss, debate, and vote on typical Board Meeting
topics via the internet. It allows you post topics of discussion
that you would normally have in a typical Board Meeting but
it allows you to do this at each Board Members convenience.
Its becoming more difficult for Board Members for any business
to come
together and meet in a single place. Virtual meetings are
a must now that uncertain conditions persist. With a Virtual
Board Room you can upload documents, budgets, etc in a secured
environment that each Board member can review and post their
comments and questions to the entire group. The Virtual Board
room allows you to fully document members comments and votes
creating a very transparent environment for your business.
You
can also use a Virtual Board room for your employees as a Secure
Human Resource depository for rosters,
procedure manuals, employment manuals, announcements, news items,
etc... Take
a look at some of the things you
can do with
a Bulletin Board System for your Virtual Board Meetings.

How
CUBBoard.com can help Board Meetings for Credit Unions |
According
to US
Code for Federal Credit Unions, Board of Directors meetings
must be held monthly in
which they have the general direction and control of the affairs
of the Federal credit union. In these meetings Board members should
consider and review things such as membership applications, loans,
determine
investments and
set
loan
and share
rates, employee reviews & compensation, and maintain other internal
controls, such as policies, etc. All of which requires distribtuion
of documents, review of documents, ongoing commentary and dialog
which requires the meeting minutes to be documented. As per the
guidance from the NCUA, at least one of the monthly board meetings
must be done in-person. That means that 11 of the 12 require board
meetings can be done virtually, provided the CU has the means to
do so.
The
CUBBoard allows you to do all of this in an encrypted and secure
environment. Using the CU BBoard allows you to securely upload
your board meeting packets (not email them), and automatically
notify your board members of their availability for review. This
system allows your Board members to easily review the documents
ahead of your meetings, post questions/comments, post replies,
etc.. and have all comments/post documented and printed. You can
even post votes for different topics or issues and keep a record
of them. Unlike email which is unsecure, comments are made back
and forth in chains of emails, and its very difficult to document
all comments in one place.
With
the CU BBoard system you can use this to securely preview all
of your documents, your monthly packages, and even hold votes on
the topics for these monthly meetings virtually (for 11 of the
12 required meetings), and then keep
and print all comments in chronological order on all discussions.

Why
use a Secure/Private Bulletin Board System? |
Are
you tired of long email chains when discussing various topics with
your Board Members or even amongst your employees or different department
managers? You have to search through 100's of emails to piece together
comments from
multiple people and then search through their emails to see "Reply-To-All" messages.
It can become a nightmare to sift through multiple email chains to
find the comments that actually apply to the topic at hand.
We have the Solution for that. It's a Bulletin
Board System.
With
a Secured Bulletin Board System for your Business you can create a
Secure and Private Discussion Group for your Board Meetings, Different
Departments, Managers, Policies,
etc. and give access to those groups to only those that need to participate
in those discussions.
You
can have secure and on-going discussions of topics for Virtual Board
Meetings, Department Meetings, Policy Documents, etc. where you can
post your
monthly, quarterly,
and/or annual documents to discuss
and
vote on virtually. You can post company announcements, news items,
status information, etc... And
it will all be documented in one location, not multiple email chains.
Instead
of emailing documents back & forth, creating long email chains
with copied responses, etc..., use a secure bulletin board
to have those discussions.
The ease of use and the chronological listing of replies and comments, makes
it very easy to follow and document. All Topics can easily be printed
as a PDF document for Archival purposes.
And
Most Important of all this is a PRIVATE Bulletin Board System, that
can be closed to public access. |

Secure
Access |
|
|
- The Bulletin
Board access is very secure and uses a 256bit SSL Certificate with
RSA/AES using TLS1.2. All access to/from the website is encrypted
and secure from your PC's browser and/or mobile device. All File
Uploads and Downloads are done so securely. Only Authorized users
can view or post topics. No public registration is allowed
(prevents unauthorized access to read or write topics).
- Privitized:
The Bulletin Board is a private and closed system. There is no public
registrations. This prevents non-auhtorized users and hackers from
"registering"
for accounts. All users must be "invited" from within the Bulletin
Board system. (NOTE: If you're looking for an open Bulletin Board
system for your business, we can do that too.)
- Direct
Access Only, No public facing direct links to your Bulletin Board.
The Bulletin Board does not have any direct public facing links on
our website and we do not recommend putting a link on yours. We'll
provide you with the URL to access the login page that you can share
with your Bulletin Board members. When a members account is generated
an email is sent automatically that contains the link to the login
site.
