The Clear Picture on Board Transparency: Why It’s so Important
The webinar discussed the importance of board transparency and featured perspectives from the City of Worland, Wyoming. The City of Worland has used BoardDocs since 2016 to provide quick access to agendas, documents, and historical information for board members and the public. This has increased transparency and reduced phone calls to the office. BoardDocs allows the small city to find tremendous value by having detailed meeting minutes and board actions easily available online. The webinar highlighted how mobility and online access to information can improve transparency for municipalities.
