What does the Directors Desk Do Best?

The goal of the Nasdaq Directors Desk team is to create an environment conducive for smooth board meeting management.

Additionally, the directors desk board portal is a quality solution for the following:

Consolidated data storage 

Managers configure data storage to meet corporate governance standards. In addition, it is easy and quick to find a specific document, which is important during meetings.
