Creating and editing Announcements
Announcements allow you to communicate important news and updates to you board members. This helps to prompt your board members to get involved and be aware of upcoming meetings and agenda items.
For example, you can use announcements to:
- alert your board members to upcoming board meetings or other important events coming up at your organization,
- highlight documents that are due for review or approval, or
- let your board members know about new volunteer opportunities you'd like them to share or participate in
Creating an Announcement
To create a new Announcement, go to the Announcements tab and click "Add Announcement."
This opens a new Announcement, where you can give your Announcement a title and set the date the announcement should expire.
You should use the Description field to add key information like a Zoom Meeting link.
You can also use the Notes field to add more notes, and use the "Select Files" button to attach any important files to the Announcement as well.
It is a good idea to attach files to your Announcements. This makes it very easy for your board members to see and access important files related to that announcement (e.g. a meeting agenda, or a document that is due to be reviewed during in an upcoming meeting).
Click the "Save" button once you are done.
The announcement you have added will be posted on the Announcement page.
Editing an Existing Announcement
To edit an existing Announcement, go to the "Announcement" tab. You'll notice that you can easily access both Current and Past announcements.
Once you find the Announcement you want to edit, click the title of that Announcement.
That will open the Announcement and display all of its details. Click the "Pencil" icon to make any changes to the Announcement details.
Once you are done, click "Save" to save your changes.
Note: If you want to delete the announcement, click the "Trash" icon.
