CUSO Launches Web Site for Board Utilization

Grand Rapids, Michigan – December 3rd, 2012 – Xtend, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based multi-owned cooperative CUSO, recently launched a new Board of Directors website to help streamline the distribution of materials to its nine-member Board. In a collaborative effort, the site was developed by the Web Services team at CU*Answers, Inc.

Xtend President Scott Collins commented on the new Board site by saying, “We have made a conscious effort over the past year to both reduce the amount of paper we generate with our board materials and streamline the ongoing communication within our leadership group.  The release of our new Board portal takes a major step forward in both of those areas.  I commend our partners on the CU*Answers Web Services team for the site’s look, feel, and ease of use.”
