Seattle-based communications and broadcast-media company, has selected
BoardVantage to distribute board materials, streamline its board process,
and enhance the efficiency of the Corporate Secretarial function.
"BoardVantage lets us securely share board materials electronically," said
Christopher Bellavia, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary,
Fisher Communications. "This not only reduces the workload of my office and
cuts down on wasteful printing and shipping, but more importantly, it
improves the immediacy of the flow of information to our Directors. We also
intend to use BoardVantage's toolkit to streamline our board process by
managing the surveys and approvals processes."
