Case Study: Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa New Zealand achieves streamlined, professional board governance for remote members with BoardPro

Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa New Zealand - Customer Case Study

Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa New Zealand (RHAANZ), led by Chief Executive Michelle Thompson, is a national coalition representing rural health organisations with a 14-member board spread across remote parts of New Zealand. With members meeting face-to-face only once or twice a year and often relying on phone or video conferencing, unreliable internet and difficulty accessing large email attachments made distributing and accessing board materials a major challenge. RHAANZ adopted BoardPro’s board management software to address these issues.

BoardPro implemented a single, secure online repository and board pack workflow so all 14 board members can log in from anywhere and download meeting packs in advance, even if they lack internet on the meeting day. This has simplified pack preparation, improved professionalism and efficiency, and made meetings more accessible and effective for RHAANZ — benefits Michelle Thompson highlights — with BoardPro’s not‑for‑profit pricing model further supporting the organisation.
