WMCA Introduces Our New Committee Management Tool

Introducing OnBoardGOV: Transforming Committee Administration

WMCA is excited to introduce OnBoardGOV, a cutting-edge board and committee management system designed to streamline our processes and enhance efficiency. With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, OnBoardGOV will transform how we manage board and committee appointments, making it easier than ever to stay organized and engaged.

Effortless Board Management at Your Fingertips

OnBoardGOV provides a single, easy-to-use database that consolidates all council, board, and committee information in one place. Some of the standout features include:

• Comprehensive Member Management: Update member details once, no matter how many boards they serve on.
• Advanced Search Capabilities: Locate members and boards effortlessly using customized search parameters.
• Centralized Contact Storage: Maintain all contact methods for each member in one secure location.
• Membership Tracking: Monitor board tenure, term expirations, and service across multiple boards.

Enhancing Committee Appointment Processes

One of the most impactful changes OnBoardGOV will bring is a more efficient and transparent process for committee appointments. Committees play a vital role in our organization, driving much of our essential work. Our goal is to ensure that every member has an equal opportunity to apply for and serve on committees, fostering greater involvement and networking within the association.

How the New Appointment Process Works

1. Annual Application Window:
• On May 1st, all current committee members will receive a notification that their appointment will expire on August 31st.
• Members will be invited to reapply for their current committee and/or explore new committees of interest.
• At the same time, the entire membership will be notified that all committee positions are open for applications.
2. Simple and Accessible Application Process:
• The process is designed to be quick and user-friendly, ensuring ease of access.
• Members can select multiple committees they would like to be considered for.
• Applicants may also indicate if they are interested in serving as a committee chair.
3. Deadline and Review Process:
• The application window closes on June 15th.
• This allows the President ample time to review submissions and build committee rosters.
• Final committee appointments will be presented to the Board of Directors at their first Organizational Meeting.
4. Ongoing Committee Openings:
• At any time throughout the year, members can visit the OnBoardGOV landing page to view open committee seats and apply.
• Around May 1st, all seats will be marked as expiring, allowing all members to become involved and current members an opportunity to continue serving.

A More Efficient, Transparent Future

With the implementation of OnBoardGOV, we are taking a major step toward improving efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in committee administration. This system ensures that the President has a fresh and diverse pool of interested members when making appointments, while also making it easier for members to stay informed and engaged in the governance process.

We encourage all members to explore the OnBoardGOV landing page, where they can browse available committees, track vacancies, and apply for open positions. This initiative marks a significant advancement in our commitment to inclusive participation and organizational excellence.
