Case Study: Maryland Farm Bureau achieves 60% time savings in board management with OnBoard Board Management Software

Small Association Turns to OnBoard for Time-saving, Cost-Effective Board Management Efficiencies

Maryland Farm Bureau, a small association based in Davidsonville, Maryland, needed a more efficient way to manage board meetings during the pandemic and move away from a paper-based process. The organization wanted secure, 24/7 access to board materials, better digitization, and a solution that would be easy for its mostly farmer-led board to adopt. It turned to OnBoard Board Management Software and the OnBoard Board Intelligence Platform.

OnBoard Board Management Software implemented a web-based board management system, including virtual orientation and customer success support to help users get comfortable with the platform. The results were significant: Maryland Farm Bureau reported 60% time savings on board management tasks, reduced packet preparation from about two days to a half-day or three-fourths of a day, and gave board members round-the-clock access to current and historical materials. OnBoard also provided automated reminders and permission-based security, helping the organization save time and improve governance.
