Case Study: University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire Foundation achieves streamlined board management and seamless virtual meetings with OnBoard Board Management Software

How OnBoard Helps the Foundation Board Serve a Vibrant, 105-Year-Old University

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Foundation faced labor‑intensive, paper‑based board book production that consumed staff time, money, and created logistical headaches — and it needed a secure, accessible solution to become virtual meeting‑ready. To address this, the foundation adopted OnBoard Board Management Software (OnBoard) to replace printing, manual assembly, and ad hoc email distribution of materials.

OnBoard Board Management Software centralized meeting materials (including a Book Builder for easy uploads and last‑minute edits), enabled quick member notifications, and allowed a seamless transition to virtual meetings during the COVID‑19 pandemic. The OnBoard implementation significantly reduced staff time, resources, and stress, gave directors earlier access to materials for more informed discussions, saved the foundation thousands of dollars a year in printing, and cut paper waste.
