ActionItem is a web-based board governance platform for Canadian nonprofits, associations, and professional bodies.
What ActionItem is
ActionItem is a web-based board governance platform for Canadian nonprofits, associations, and professional bodies. It supports drag-and-drop agenda building, live minutes, standing items, and consent agenda grouping. Boards can vote during or between meetings, with motions stored in a searchable decision register. Support for Bourinot's, Kerr & King, and Robert's Rules is included. Members track assigned actions from personal dashboards with due dates, automatic email reminders, and carry-forward to the next meeting. Meeting transcripts can be pasted or uploaded for review of AI suggestions covering notes, decisions, actions, votes, and attendance. Other tools include conflict registers, document storage and viewing, issue tracking, scheduling polls, embeddable widgets, branded PDF export, board seat and term records, and audit trails. Data is stored on Canadian servers, while some email and payment processing may occur elsewhere. A 30-day trial needs no credit card. Afterward, board access pauses until subscription, although data remains preserved and exportable.
