What BoardDock is

BoardDock is a web portal for nonprofit and community boards to manage meetings and governance records. Boards can schedule meetings, prepare agendas, publish board packages, and record minutes, motions, and action items. Packages combine an agenda with attached PDFs into one consolidated PDF export, and each published version is retained. Approved minutes are locked as the official record with the approver and approval date recorded. The motions register captures votes for, against, or abstaining, conflict-of-interest recusals, and quorum against a set threshold. Boards can subscribe to a private governance-calendar feed from Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar, and add a Zoom, Teams, or Meet link to a meeting. The portal also handles policies, documents, committee management, and director onboarding. Sign-in supports email, Google, or Microsoft, and accounts can enable authenticator-app two-factor authentication. BoardDock says traffic uses TLS, data is encrypted at rest, and row-level security protects database tables. Data is hosted in Canada, with no U.S. data residency. A 14-day trial is available; plans start at C$29 a month.
