Ditch the Deck with Zeck

How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?

Our senior staff and administration where looking for ideas to better engage our board Members and create an easily digestible overview of the month’s department reports & financial statements. We found Zeck; a cloud-based software platform designed to streamline board meetings by creating a collaborative workspace for more efficient and engaging discussions. Inspired by corporate sector practices, Zeck enables board members to review materials, agendas, and participate in prevotes, reducing the time and complexity of traditional board meetings. Zeck replaced bulky pre-meeting packets with a versatile digital platform. It automates meeting minutes, summarizes uploaded content, and promotes early communication. This has reduced administrative time, improved decision-making, and enhanced board meeting productivity.

How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?

The club adopted Zeck after researching corporate practices for board communications. We uploaded meeting materials and encouraged board members to familiarize themselves with its features, such as the pre-vote function, and real-time collaboration tools. As a result, board members now spend less time preparing for meetings and have more time for strategic discussions. Board members appreciate the platform’s ease of use and time savings. Early access to materials has led to better preparation, more focused discussions, and more informed decisions during meetings.
