Coordinating meetings between multiple people can be challenging. Each meeting attendee has their own busy schedule and finding the time that works can take more effort than the actual meeting itself. Now, imagine having to coordinate with multiple different groups of multiple individuals. Things can begin to get out of hand.

As an example, you may be a member of several committees. Each committee has many moving parts and finding times to meet with members becomes very daunting – especially when someone is responsible for coordinating meetings with more than one committee.

The best way to simplify your coordinating process, reduce stress, and save time is to use the Group Management feature in CoreUM. How Group Management works is simple – you create a group and then add all members to the corresponding group.

Here is an example…

A CoreUM user who is also a City Councillor is a member of several different council committees including: The Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee, the Community and Protective Services Committee, and the Civic Works Committee. Now, there are scheduled sessions for each of these committees where all members are expected to attend, but if there is ever a need for a meeting outside of this allotted time, coordinating the schedules of all committee members is nearly impossible – until our City Councillor began to use CoreUM.

Our City Councillor added all of their contacts into CoreUM via a Microsoft Outlook integration and then created a group for each of the three committees that they were a part of and added all corresponding members.

Now, whenever, for example, the Civic Work Committee needed to meet, the Councillor simply creates a meeting invite in CoreUM, adds several possible meeting dates and times, and selects to send the invite to the Civic Works Committee Group that they had created in CoreUM.

Each committee member then choses the times that works best for them and CoreUM compiles the results and presents the best time for everyone. It is as simple as that – no back-and-forth email chains, no miscommunication, no schedule juggling – just a simple meeting time that works for everyone.
