The Noticeboard is GovernorHub’s messaging system, allowing all members to communicate openly and transparently.

Messages are visible to all board members
Posts can also be sent as email notifications

Sensitive or confidential discussions should be conducted privately using other means.
Direct, private messaging is not available on GovernorHub.

📌 Step 2: Click in the message box at the top of the screen.


📌 Step 3: Type your message and use the formatting toolbar to style it.


📌 Step 4: Click Send to post it.


Enhancing Your Post

📢 Notifying Members

  • By default, all members can see your post.

✉️ How Email Notifications Work

  • Selected members will receive an email with the full message.

Commenting on a Post

💬 To comment:

  • Click Add a comment below the post.

  • Type your message and click Send.

  • To add a link, paste the URL directly into the comment.

👥 Who Gets Notified?

  • All original recipients of the post i.e. everyone or a selected committee i.e. Curriculum Committee) and anyone else who has commented (this might include someone who didn't receive the original post notification email but has chosen to comment as noticeboard posts are visible to all board members upon login).

  • Anyone who has previously commented.

🚨 Before posting a comment, you’ll see a message showing who will be notified.

Editing & Deleting Posts

  • Unfortunately posts cannot be edited once posted so if you spotted a mistake, you will need to delete the post and then repost the message.

  • Comments can be deleted.

  • However, emails already sent to members cannot be retracted.

Use the Noticeboard to keep your board informed, engaged, and connected! ✅
