CUES measures impact of Aprio board portal
New tool streamlines communication, simplifies meeting prep and strengthens director engagement.
With a nine-member board and directors based in different locations across North America, CUES sought out board portal technology to ensure its board operated with optimal efficiency, engagement and security.
