Wichita, Kansas, known as the “Air Capital of the World,” is a city with a rich history and diverse needs. As the largest city in Kansas, Wichita faces unique challenges in managing its various boards and committees efficiently. Enter OnBoardGOV, a comprehensive solution that has revolutionized the way Wichita handles its board management processes.
Streamlining Board Management
OnBoardGOV has addressed several key needs for Wichita:
- Centralized Information Management: With numerous boards and committees, Wichita needed a single, easy-to-use database to manage all member information. OnBoardGOV provides this, allowing for effortless updates and searchability across multiple boards.
- Efficient Membership Tracking: The system enables Wichita to track membership over time and across boards, making it simple to identify upcoming vacancies and manage term expirations.
- Customizable Reporting: OnBoardGOV offers multiple customizable reports, allowing Wichita officials to generate vacancy reports, term expiration reports, and board books as needed.
- Streamlined Application Process: With the add-on Applications module, Wichita can now manage volunteer applications online, including resume uploads and automated notifications.
Applications module
The Applications module has significantly streamlined Wichita’s board and committee management process. This add-on feature allows constituents to apply online for board positions, while city staff can efficiently receive and manage applications through the OnBoardGOV program.
The module has improved Wichita’s application process in several ways:
- Paperless applications: Volunteers can apply online and upload their resumes directly through the module, eliminating the need for paper-based applications.
- Automated information flow: Once an application is submitted, the information goes directly into OnBoardGOV for validation. After validation, the data automatically moves to the board level, where it can be managed by the board coordinator and reviewed by board members.
- Efficient applicant management: City staff can easily manage applicants throughout the interview process, creating PDF interview packets that can be printed or emailed as needed.
- Customizable application acceptance: Wichita has control over which boards accept applications through the system, allowing for flexibility in recruitment processes.
- Automated notifications: The module includes an automated notification process, likely reducing manual follow-up work for city staff.
- Custom reporting: Staff can create and run custom reports on applicants, providing valuable insights into the recruitment process.
By implementing this module, Wichita created a more efficient, paperless, and user-friendly application process for both applicants and city staff, saving time and resources while potentially attracting a wider pool of candidates for board positions.
