About
A review desk built for the public record.
The Board Secretary brings records management, audit and quality review, compliance and website expertise to special districts and public boards. One accountable provider, with every document reviewed before it reaches your district.
Our team
Four areas of expertise on every engagement
Our team works across four disciplines, and every district engagement draws on all of them. Your district has one point of contact, backed by the full desk.
Records and client management
Your district’s records hub, filing to the state retention schedule, the monthly calendar and every deadline on it, and a direct line for questions.
Audit and quality review
Every motion, mover, seconder, vote and quorum call checked against the recording, with anything unclear flagged by timestamp for the officer of record.
Compliance
Each district’s bylaws and its state’s open meeting and records requirements, reviewed before the first meeting and revisited as the rules change.
Website management
Design, hosting, security, accessibility and posting for the district website, so the public record reaches the public on schedule.
How we review
Four checks before anything is signed
Every document passes through the same four stages, every month, for every district. Errors are caught before the record is signed, not corrected after.
Every document is prepared to the district’s own bylaws and its state’s open meeting requirements, and scheduled to reach the district ahead of its posting deadline.
Recording check
Each recording is checked for quality and completeness before drafting begins. A partial or unclear recording is caught on day one, not at the deadline.
Structured audit
Every draft is audited line by line: vote counts, quorum, names against the board roster, dollar amounts, dates, and every agenda item accounted for.
Professional review
A reviewer listens at every flagged point and checks every motion and vote against the recording. Anything that cannot be confirmed is marked by timestamp for your officer, never guessed at.
Officer sign-off
Your officer of record reviews and signs. Nothing is posted or filed as the record until that signature is in place.
Leadership
Accountable to institutional buyers
A board engaging an administrative provider is relying on two things: that the documents will be produced correctly every month, and that the relationship is built for reliability and accountability over the long term.
Our leadership combines audit and records discipline with a long career serving institutional buyers who ask careful questions about exactly those things.
The Board Secretary is the trade name of Administrative Compliance Solutions Group LLC (ACSG), a Connecticut company, and an ASDA Preferred Partner.

The boundaries, stated as principles
Documents, never dollars. Support, never the statutory officer.
The same lines on every engagement.
The board’s Secretary stays the Secretary. We prepare the documents they sign.
The district’s attorney stays the attorney.
Public money never passes through our hands.
Elections stay with the officials the law assigns them to.
The Board Secretary provides administrative document preparation and board-secretary support. It does not provide legal advice, hold public funds, or serve as a statutory officer; legal questions are referred to the district’s attorney.
