Board Governance

The Board Governance module tracks the governance bodies, people, meetings, and decisions behind your organizations — corporations, nonprofits, and LLCs with formal governance. It’s where you record who sits on the board, when they meet, and what they decide.

What Board Governance tracks

• Boards — governance bodies (Board of Directors, Advisory Board, Supervisory Board).
• Board Members — individuals serving on a board, each with one or more appointment terms (start, end, role).
• Officers — corporate officers, each with their own appointment terms.
• Committees — subgroups of a board (Audit, Compensation, Nominating), with their committee members and appointment terms.
• Meetings — records that a board or committee meeting occurred, with attendees tracked for quorum and compliance.
• Resolutions — decisions or actions taken by a board or committee.
• Board Consents — written consents in lieu of a meeting.
• D&O Questionnaires — annual director-and-officer disclosure tracking (status, not the content itself).
• Corporate Seals — custody and usage tracking for corporate seals.

Adding a record

Creating or editing governance records requires Editor access to the Board Governance module.

Open the record type you need, click New, complete the form, and Save. To manage nested items, open a board, committee, or meeting record. From there you can edit members and their appointment terms, or a meeting’s attendees and resolutions.
