Set up separate topic areas for different subjects — governance, finance, safeguarding, general. Keeps discussions organised and easy to find, unlike a group chat where everything gets mixed together.
Trustees can subscribe to daily or weekly email digests of what's being discussed. They stay informed and can contribute without needing to log in to check — ideal for busy volunteers.
The forum is only accessible to the trustees you've added to your account. No public posts, no external access — a safe space for your board to have frank discussions.
If a discussion goes off-topic or grows into something bigger, split it into a new thread or move it to a more appropriate topic area. Keeps the forum tidy and easy to navigate over time.
Group chats are great for urgent messages but poor for ongoing discussions. The forum gives important conversations a permanent, searchable home — rather than disappearing up the chat history.
The trustee forum is included at every price point. View pricing or get started.
