The AGB OnBoard Story
When we began to hear about an increasing need to digitize higher education boardrooms, we searched for a strategic partner who could meet our most stringent standards — and found that partner in OnBoard.
Together, we created AGB OnBoard: a member-exclusive board management portal that combines OnBoard’s market-leading, secure board management software with AGB’s trusted governance content and expertise. With a combined 115 years of experience in higher education governance, AGB OnBoard is built on a foundation no other board portal can match.

Minutes AI captures the meeting and generates a draft automatically — all inside your secure, encrypted board portal, never a public AI model.
