Does your board use an online portal or other online tool to review plans and documents? If not how do they review materials?

Our Board is presented to and a great deal goes into Agenda setting, presentation creation and like many boards is tied to financials, company performance and key metrics.  We generate the “Board Deck” in Power Point as an ELT and send a pre-read out to our board one week prior to quarterly board meetings and save down to PDF due to file size. There is no online portal used. This is similar in process to a number of other fortune 100 companies I have worked with at the board level. I would imagine there is a wide variety of communication vehicles used as you will see in other responses.

Try Basecamp for sharing and accessing documents.
Google docs also works so long as the Board members all use Google.

95% of my experience is in the public sector.  Therefore, all correspondence to, from or among board members was subject to FOIA.  Board agendas, minutes and documents for action at board meetings had to be posted to a public website.  Electronic comments among board members were generally not allowed.

My nonprofit boards are using BoardEffect and for profit BoardVantage. BV is my favorite for the ease and adding commentary during my pre-read review of materials. Platforms like this are essential for security, document control and communications.
