Board member securely accesses meeting materials from anywhere in the world
Priya Cherian Huskins, Senior Vice President & Partner at Woodruff Sawyer, understands the inefficiencies of paper-based board meetings. Years ago, as a corporate securities associate, she had to chase down board members across the globe to get board books to them in a timely fashion. Now, as a trustee of two public and two private company boards, Huskins needs materials delivered to her quickly and securely.
“The stakes are high for board members,” Huskins said. “First and foremost, I must be confident that I’ve seen all the materials. And that I’ve gotten them in a timely way. If I’m traveling with physical paper, or if [materials] are coming through random emails, I could get to a place where [I] didn’t actually see the materials before the board meeting — that’s inappropriate.”
By using the Diligent platform, Huskins has been able to:
- See all of her board information on a single, easy-to-use interface — no more lugging board books in carry-on luggage
- Ensure that all her board materials are up to date with quick synching in the platform for sequential meetings
- Keep board materials confidential on a secure digital platform
Accessing board materials anytime, anywhere has been a significant relief and productivity lift for Huskins.
“My ability to get materials efficiently, process those materials, and even refer to them — what a huge difference it is just to know that, wherever I am in the world, I can sync the board book. It will have all my materials,” Huskins said. “The Diligent product is outstanding.”
