The Board Administrator’s Command Center
Preside eliminates the manual work that consumes your days — meeting preparation, document distribution, minute-taking, compliance tracking, and follow-up management. Everything you need to run flawless board operations, powered by AI and built specifically for governance professionals like you.
Your Biggest Challenges, Solved
Board administrators carry an enormous operational burden. Preside was designed to address every one of these pain points head-on.
Hours Spent Assembling Board Books
Manually compiling documents from multiple departments, formatting them consistently, and distributing hundreds of pages before every meeting drains your most productive hours.
Chasing Board Members for RSVPs and Reviews
Sending reminder after reminder to directors who have not confirmed attendance or reviewed critical pre-read materials slows down the entire governance cycle.
Manual Minute-Taking During Meetings
Trying to capture every resolution, discussion point, and action item in real time while also managing meeting logistics is a recipe for incomplete records.
Tracking Action Items Across Meetings
Following up on dozens of action items assigned to different directors across multiple meetings, often using spreadsheets or emails, means things inevitably fall through the cracks.
Managing Compliance Deadlines
Keeping track of filing requirements, regulatory submissions, and governance deadlines across jurisdictions without a centralized system is stressful and error-prone.
Coordinating Multiple Committees and Boards
When you support more than one board or committee, the complexity multiplies: different schedules, different members, different compliance requirements, all needing your attention simultaneously.
Your New Workflow
Six powerful capabilities designed to transform how you manage board operations, from meeting prep to compliance reporting.
Automated Board Book Assembly
Drag and drop documents into a structured board book template. Preside automatically formats, paginates, and generates a table of contents. Distribute to all directors with one click.
Meeting Management with Agenda Builder
Build agendas collaboratively, run scheduling polls to find the date that works, track attendance, publish an .ics feed your directors can subscribe to, and send automatic reminders to anyone who has not responded.
AI-Powered Meeting Summaries and Draft Minutes
Preside's AI drafts minutes from the meeting record: agenda, attendance, resolutions, recorded votes and action items, already formatted. Review and approve in minutes, not hours.
Action Item Tracking with Automatic Reminders
Every action item is captured, assigned, and tracked with due dates. Automatic reminders go to responsible directors, and you get a dashboard showing completion status across all meetings.
Compliance Calendar with Deadline Alerts
A centralized compliance calendar tracks regulatory deadlines, filing requirements, and governance obligations, drawn from a library of 34 regulations across 11 national jurisdictions plus any obligation you add yourself. Alerts go out well before each due date.
Multi-Board and Committee Management
Manage every board and committee you support from a single dashboard. Switch contexts instantly, maintain separate document libraries, and never confuse materials between entities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from board administrators evaluating Preside for their organizations.
Can Preside handle the specific board book format our organization requires?
Yes. Board books are assembled from the documents already held in Preside using a reusable section structure, so your cover page, section order, and naming stay consistent from one meeting to the next. Every book is generated with a table of contents, and you set the structure once and reuse it for every cycle.
How does the AI minute-taking work, does it replace me?
Not at all. Preside's AI drafts the minutes from the meeting record held in the platform: the agenda, attendance, resolutions, recorded votes, and action items. You remain in full control, reviewing, editing, and finalizing the minutes before they are distributed. The AI handles the assembly and formatting so you can focus on accuracy and governance quality.
Can I manage multiple boards and committees within one account?
Absolutely. Preside is designed for administrators who support multiple entities. Each board and committee has its own workspace with separate document libraries, member lists, meeting histories, and compliance calendars. You can switch between them instantly from a unified dashboard without logging in and out of different accounts.
How does Preside help with compliance tracking across different jurisdictions?
Preside includes a compliance library of 34 regulations across 11 national jurisdictions, mapped to the obligations that sit with your board and committees. The library is national in scope, so it does not carry state or provincial content today, and you can add any custom obligation your organization needs. The system sends alerts ahead of each deadline and keeps an audit log of when every requirement was addressed.
What happens to our existing board documents if we switch to Preside?
Preside supports bulk document upload, and our onboarding team helps with the first load so existing board books, minutes, resolutions, and policies land properly categorized. Once in the platform, they carry version history and comments, stay searchable, and can be exported again at any time, so you never lose access to past governance materials.
