Every board secretary knows the feeling. The agenda is in one email thread, the papers are in another, someone has lost the latest version, and half the members are asking what was decided at the last meeting. Governance is meant to build trust, yet too often the tools behind it create confusion.
Every board secretary knows the feeling. The agenda is in one email thread, the papers are in another, someone has lost the latest version, and half the members are asking what was decided at the last meeting. Governance is meant to build trust, yet too often the tools behind it create confusion.
DareConnect was built to change that. It is a secure, web-based governance platform for boards, councils and committees, designed with Zimbabwean organisations in mind. Everything a governing body needs now lives in one place: committees and their members, meetings from invitation to minutes, agendas, voting, action tracking and a secure document vault.
Run a meeting from start to finish, in one place
With DareConnect, the secretary creates the meeting, sets the date, venue or Zoom link, names the chair, builds the agenda and uploads the board pack. When the meeting is published, members receive invitations by email and SMS and can accept or decline with a click. Reminders go out automatically, on the schedule you choose.
On the day, members join in person or through Zoom, declare any conflicts of interest and vote on formal polls that open and close at set times. Afterwards, minutes are captured or uploaded, and members acknowledge that they have read them. Decisions become tracked actions with owners, due dates, progress feedback and automatic reminders, so nothing is forgotten once the meeting ends.
Why boards choose DareConnect
• One secure home for your records. No more scattered emails, paper packs and spreadsheets. You get a single, auditable record of what was planned, discussed, decided and done.
• Less admin, more governance. Invitations, reminders and follow-ups are sent for you, by email and SMS.
• Clear accountability. Every action has owners, due dates, feedback and acknowledgements.
• Correct decisions. Quorum rules are set per committee, including employer and employee representation, and polls follow formal open and close windows.
• Ready for hybrid meetings. The physical venue and the Zoom details sit on the same meeting, and recording links are stored afterwards.
DareVault: your documents, protected
DareVault is the organisation's single source of truth for documents. Every file gets an automatic reference number and version history, can be previewed in the browser without downloading, and can be annotated by members. People see only the documents for their own committees and for published meetings, so sensitive papers stay with the right people.
Built with security and local needs in mind
DareConnect is served over HTTPS and uses role-based access control. Each organisation runs as its own separate instance, with its own database and its own branding, name, logo and SMS sender ID, under its own address. Meeting times and reminders follow Africa/Harare time, and the interface works on desktop, tablet and mobile browsers.
See it for yourself
Whether you chair a National Employment Council, serve on a committee, or run the secretariat of a board, DareConnect gives you the confidence that your meetings are prepared, your decisions are recorded and your actions are done.
