Consider Going Paperless at Your Next Board Meeting
Wow — that was a light meeting! The September board meeting with our client USPOULTRY Foundation was a delight. Each board member and guest had a tablet provided for him or her to keep pace throughout the meeting, and the board members left with zip drives containing important documents.
USPOULTRY CEO John Starkey and his leadership team conducted a cost analysis — materials as well as staff time — of producing the extensive notebooks that each board member received at the quarterly meeting. Then, the staff researched options to go paperless and made the move. They tested the concept at another meeting as a dry run.
