Board meetings geting
a little paper HEAVY?

This new application enables the leadership to: ° Develop, publish and forward board meeting notices, agenda, related attachments and minutes to meeting participants; ° Post meeting information that is accessible to the public; and ° Create a searchable archive of meeting information.

Board members and administrators also will find CABE-Meeting a useful tool in preparing for meetings. ° Run their meetings more effectively; ° Share more information ectronically with board members and the public; and ° Eliminate the cost of printing and distributing board meeting packets.

Time and Money Savings  District personnel spend large amounts of time preparing board meeting notices, agendas, related documents and minutes "by hand." Using the CABE-Meeting process, your central office staff can more efficiently design and distribute board meeting packets to all participants. Public access to pertinent agenda and attachments via the world wide web is automatic. Your district will enjoy significant savings in printing, and delivery costs by not having to mail or hand-deliver those documents. Using the CABE-Meeting search feature, administrators and board members easily can locate information from prior board meetings. There are no more time consuming, tedious searches through mounds of paper!

However, your district does not have to go completely paperless to benefit from CABE-Meeting. All documents are printable and can also be downloaded to a CD. For individuals who may not have access to a computer or don't feel comfortable using one, the Meeting Manager simply prints out the necessary documents and sends them as hard copies. Even if board members prefer paper copies, CABE-Meeting provides the superintendent and staff with powerful tools that efficiently design and publish important meeting information to be distributed. In addition, the search feature will be of value to the administrative staff when searching for information from past board meetings.

Service Features  ° Password protected access for certain features and audiences; ° Participant option to receive automatic meeting notifications and modifications; ° Downloading and printing of desired sections or entire documents; ° Establishing public access to designated documents; ° Ability to follow live meeting electronically; ° Ability to build minutes on the fly; ° Searches of archived meeting-related documents; ° Ability to insert and review personal notes; and It all adds up to saving district time and money in preparing and delivering board meeting documents.
