Why Boards and Teams Trust Us

Cohuna

There has been nothing but fantastic feedback from the board directors and executive staff who are now using Convene. The platform has now not only saved time in preparation, but all data is secure and only accessible to [authorized] participants. The functionality of the Announcements is a vital part of keeping everyone up to date, especially during COVID-19. We also love the Library, where I store all documents that are relevant for the Board of Directors to stay abreast of Policies and past reports from departments. This has been the best investment our organisation has made.

Helen Cramer,
Executive Governance Officer, Cohuna District Hospital

Police Bank

Our Chair wrote to us that he wanted to say thanks to those who took the time to go through the options for the replacement of BoardPad with Convene. He was a few days behind as he’s been working on the House but he has worked through the 250 pages of the BRC papers making notes and drawing squiggles. Superb! A couple of other directors commented it was easy to use, even without training.

Rosanne Mehl,
Procedures Analyst, Police Bank

CARA

When I opened CARA’s last board agenda I was able to navigate up and down the headings and pages. Importantly, I was able to open and [access] the attachments. I like that when you get to an attachment, the App prompts you to open it.
