Escribe Strengthens Its Commitment to Us-Based Municipalities With NLC Enterprise Partnership
eSCRIBE, the leading provider of collaboration and productivity solutions for municipal governments, announced its endorsement from the National League of Cities (NLC) as an Exclusive Enterprise Partner for Remote Meeting Management and Citizen Engagement Solutions. The NLC will also use eSCRIBE’s platform as their official meeting management system for internal board and committee meetings.

The new exclusive endorsement in the meeting management and citizen engagement category enables NLC member municipalities to take advantage of more in-depth eSCRIBE offerings and continue to digitally transform their operations. As a remote-first organization, eSCRIBE understands the challenges and opportunities that come with effectively managing offsite work. For this reason, eSCRIBE will empower municipalities and their workforces with best practices, training, and educational resources.
According to the Status of Telework in the Federal Government Report to Congress, 90% of eligible Federal employees worked remotely in fiscal year 2020. The Pew Research Centre also reports that 46% of all workers who had never worked remotely before the pandemic now prefer to telework at least part-time going forward.
eSCRIBE’s remote meeting management platform saves time, lowers costs, and increases citizen engagement before, during, and after municipal meetings. In addition to its robust agenda and minutes management capabilities, eSCRIBE enables municipalities to deploy electronic voting and request-to-speak queues for public meetings, as well as live-streaming and video recording and publishing.
