Built for How Committees Actually Work
Most club committees meet once a month. They discuss what happened since the last meeting, make decisions, assign actions, and move on. The governance work - agendas, minutes, action items, documents - needs a home that is not someone's email inbox.
Today we are launching the Committee Workspace.
What It Includes
Meeting management. Create meeting agendas from templates. Record minutes against agenda items. Track attendance.
Action items. Assign tasks to committee members with deadlines. Outstanding items carry over to the next meeting automatically.
Document storage. Policies, contracts, financial reports, minutes archive. Centralised, searchable, and accessible to the whole committee.
Role-based access. Organised by role, not by person. When the treasurer changes, the new treasurer sees everything the previous one had access to.
Why This Matters
The single biggest governance risk for volunteer-run organisations is knowledge loss during committee transitions. Meeting history disappears. Action items are forgotten. Documents cannot be found.
The Committee Workspace ensures that institutional memory persists regardless of who holds the role. The new secretary opens the workspace and sees meeting history stretching back years. The new treasurer sees financial records and pending tasks.
This is not about bureaucracy. It is about making volunteer governance sustainable.
Available Now
The Committee Workspace is included on all TidyHQ plans. Set up your committee, create your first meeting, and start building the governance infrastructure your club deserves.
