BACKGROUND / SUMMARY
It is proposed the Hartnell Community College District consider utilizing board management
software to manage the preparation, posting, and distribution of board materials. Many other
California community college districts have already taken this step as a way of improving public
access to governing board related materials, decreasing time, effort, and expense in producing
governing board meeting materials, enhancing the experience of governing board meetings for
the public and the trustees, and reducing paper waste. The solutions have proven themselves to
save both time and money for the institution without adding complexity to meeting preparation
or trustee collaboration and materials distribution process.
The administration has reviewed and selected three meeting management software vendors to
each deliver a 30-minute demonstration to the Hartnell College Board of Trustees for their input
on the best software/service option. All solutions scheduled to demonstrate have impressive
features and affordable options. The governing board’s input will allow us to determine which
vendor provides the best user experience and overall best solution for the District, its
constituents, the public, and of course the Board of Trustees.
Here are few common features:
