Board Management

BoardManagement.com is a board portal for coordinating meetings, documents, tasks, and board discussions. It is best suited to small boards that can work within fixed member and storage limits. Its free tier and broad collaboration tools are balanced by a browser-only model and no option to host the software on your own servers.

Overview

The portal brings board records and day-to-day coordination together: calendars cover meeting logistics, while folders, tasks, and threaded discussions give members places to manage work between meetings. Member profiles, committee assignments, and activity reports add administrative structure. For a small organization, that combination can reduce the need to coordinate these activities across separate tools.

The vendor says data transfers are encrypted and uses 256-bit AES and TLS 1.2, with servers hosted in Microsoft Azure availability zones in Virginia. Support is offered through a request form, FAQ, knowledge base, email, and phone.

Key features

Meetings and records

The calendar supports meeting events, agendas, attendee notifications, RSVPs, attendance records, and archived events. Board book building and minutes management are also included. This gives boards a place to coordinate meeting preparation and retain a record of past events, rather than treating the calendar as a simple date tracker.

Documents, tasks, and discussion

Members can upload documents by drag and drop, organize them in folders, tag files, and control access permissions. Tasks can be assigned, dated, and supported with reminders, attachments, and comments. Topic threads cover announcements, proposals, and ideas; comments arrive by email, and members can reply from email. Those email-linked exchanges can make participation more convenient, though boards should consider whether their discussion workflow belongs in email as well as the portal.

Members and committees

Member profiles and directories, committee assignments, and reports on board activity and work support routine governance administration. Secure messaging is also included. The published director capacity is five users, so boards needing greater capacity should check whether an applicable plan supports their full membership before choosing the service.

Pricing

BoardManagement.com has a free plan, paid plans starting at $49 a month, and a 30-day trial. Paid plans offer two months free with yearly billing.

Plan	Price	Limits and included support
Lifetime free account	free	Up to 3 members
Advisory	$49 a month	5 members, 5 GB storage, email support
Small	$99 a month	10 members, 10 GB storage, email support
Medium	$199 a month	20 members, 20 GB storage, email support

The free account is a low-commitment fit for a board of at most three members, but its seat cap makes it unsuitable for many groups. Advisory raises that ceiling to five members and adds 5 GB of storage; Small and Medium progressively expand membership and storage, with email support included at each paid tier. The two-month yearly-billing offer may appeal to boards comfortable with an annual commitment. Larger boards should confirm a suitable option, since the published tiers top out at 20 members.

Platforms

The service runs in a modern browser and works on Macs and PCs, with macOS, Windows, and web listed as platforms. Mobile apps are not offered; access is web-only. It cannot be hosted on a customer server, and the vendor does not plan to offer a self-hosted or desktop version. That rules it out for organizations that require local hosting or a dedicated desktop client.

Who it's for

The vendor presents the portal for boards and groups, with solutions for nonprofits, education, clubs and chapters, government, and businesses. Its clearest fit is a small board that wants meeting coordination, records, assigned tasks, and email-linked discussion in one browser-based service. Organizations needing more than 20 members, mobile apps, or self-hosting should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Meeting agendas, attendance records, archived events, board books, and minutes management cover preparation and record keeping in one portal.
• Pros: Document permissions, task assignments, reminders, and email-linked discussions support work between meetings.
• Pros: A free account for up to three members gives very small boards a no-cost way to start.
• Cons: The free plan and paid member caps can constrain growing boards; the published tiers stop at 20 members.
• Cons: Web-only mobile access means there is no mobile app, while the browser-only hosting model excludes customer-hosted deployments and desktop software.

Alternatives

For a nonprofit comparing board-focused tools, start with Nonprofit Board Management Software; for a broader category comparison, see Board Portal Software.

Choose BoardSpot if Android or iOS apps, unlimited document storage, unlimited committees, or no added per-user cost on its $105 a month Essentials plan matter more than BoardManagement.com's free tier and lower entry price. BoardPAC is another paid option, with self-hosting among its platform choices.

Stellar Library may suit a not-for-profit board seeking its listed agenda and board-pack tools, live minutes, annotations, actions, and voting; its Not-for-Profit Boards plan is $1,800 a year plus GST. Consider Admincontrol Board Portal if a customized-to-organizational-needs, sales-priced plan is preferable to fixed member tiers.

Aprio Board Portal is worth comparing if pay-per-user licensing, unlimited committees and administrators, or unlimited training are priorities. Boardable offers an Essentials plan starting at $20.99 per user per month when billed annually, with stated limits including 1,000 files, five meeting guests, and 10 groups. Boardtrac is another paid option. Diligent Audit is a paid alternative with pricing by request.

Verdict

BoardManagement.com is a sensible choice for a small board that wants meeting records, document permissions, task coordination, and email-linked discussion in a single browser portal, especially if the free plan's three-member cap is enough. Its main reasons to look elsewhere are the limited published member tiers, lack of mobile apps, and prohibition on self-hosting.
