For volunteer boards, good governance is a dynamic thing. The scope of what you oversee is always changing, with new regulations, changing expectations, unforeseen threats and opportunities alike. At the same time, there’s the challenge of tech transformation, including AI, unfolding at lightning speed.
Fortunately, tools and tactics are keeping pace – and charities, nonprofits and associations are bringing them into their operations.
When asked “How important is technology in helping you be effective in your governance role?” nonprofit leaders gave some surprising answers:
- More than half (54%) described technology as “very important: it helps us improve our workflows.”
- Even more enthusiastic were the 37% who ranked it as “essential,” saying they “couldn’t operate without it.”
- Even the remaining 9% described it as offering “significant improvements to workflows.”
