Association managementCommittees and specialist committees

Organize committees and collaborate online

Boards, working groups and specialist committees have their own structures, roles and protected workspaces. Meetings, minutes and tasks stay linked for the people responsible.

How it works

From meeting preparation to the next task

The date, agenda and documents give the meeting a clear framework. Afterwards, results and tasks remain accessible with the person responsible and deadline.

Date, agenda and documents support preparation.

Outcomes are recorded in the minutes and linked to responsibilities.

Tasks, the forum and shared files support continued collaboration.

Structure and permissions

Manage committees, roles and terms of office

Your committee structure

Boards, specialist committees, working groups and subcommittees are managed hierarchically, with their purpose, responsibilities and terms.

Committee membership

Chairs, deputy chairs, association office staff, members and guests receive the appropriate roles. Joining and leaving dates record terms of office and completed roles.

Different levels of access

Protected workspaces and file collections depend on active committee membership and the configured role. Leadership and moderation functions are separate from ordinary member permissions.

Meetings and decisions

Organize in-person, online and hybrid meetings

Scheduling and invitations

We support scheduling, invitations and participation arrangements. Meetings can be managed as events with registration and attendance confirmation.

Agenda and minutes

Meeting notes bring together the agenda and results. Collaborative editing and a traceable history of the minutes support preparation and follow-up.

Resolutions and votes

Resolutions can be documented and online votes or elections configured. Voting eligibility, opening times and procedures are defined for each occasion.

Tasks with deadlines

The association office tracks tasks with owners, status and deadlines. Work arising from a meeting stays visible until it is completed.

The platform for members and the association office

A shared workspace for your committee

In their personal committee area, members find the people involved, meeting documents, discussions and available video rooms. Access depends on active committee membership and configured permissions.

We set up these areas for your association and help the office manage them. Meeting minutes remain traceable through their editing and version history.

Member directory

Find and get to know members

Who is involved in the specialist committee? The directory shows members with their organization and recorded role. Search by name, company or institute to find the right person and open their profile.

  • Display members with a profile photo or initials
  • Associate companies, institutes and committee roles
  • Browse even large directories alphabetically

The directory is available to authorized people in the protected committee area.

Files and access rights

Keep documents organized and accessible

Agendas, minutes and working documents are stored in shared folders. Members can view and download files made available to them. Committee leaders have a separate file area.

  • Create folders by meeting, working group or topic
  • Provide files with previews and downloads
  • Allow authorized people to upload, rename and move files

We agree the access rules with you. The member file area is protected; confidential leadership documents remain in their designated area.

Video rooms in the committee area

Hold meetings directly on the platform

For meetings and specialist discussions, members open the available video room from their committee area. The room overview shows who has already joined. Before joining, they can check their camera, microphone and chosen devices.

  • Turn your camera and microphone on yourself
  • Share your screen, use the chat and raise your hand
  • Bring the gallery or individual participants into focus
  • Stay in the conversation while opening documents elsewhere on the platform

Committee leaders have the host functions. We configure suitable rooms and access for your association.

  • Search topics, posts and replies
  • Filter unread, saved or your own discussions
  • Mention members and receive relevant notifications
  • Mark helpful replies and pin important topics

Moderators can close and reopen discussions. Channels with restricted posting permissions can be configured for announcements from the association office.

Setup and support

Coordinate committee work with your association office

We configure the committee structure, roles, workspaces and meeting workflows. Together, we decide which documents members can see, how decisions are recorded and which tasks your team or ours will handle.
