Case Study: Robert R. McCormick Foundation streamlines board meetings with Govenda

How the McCormick Foundation Saved Time and Money by Streamlining its Board Meeting Process

The Robert R. McCormick Foundation, a Chicago-based philanthropic organization, needed a better way to manage its quarterly board meetings. Its team was spending too much time manually creating PDF board books, handling version control, and mailing materials that were expensive and potentially insecure, with key information stored in multiple locations.

The foundation implemented Govenda’s board management software to centralize information, streamline agenda and board book creation, and make documents accessible from any device. With Govenda, the team saved time and resources, improved security and version control, and enabled board members to review, annotate, vote on, and approve materials remotely, freeing more time for the foundation’s mission.
