Our Story

Far from a traditional ‘About Us’ section on most company
websites, our story isn’t actually about us.

It’s about you.

In 1997, the Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) launched a bold initiative: to equip Georgia’s public school boards with technology that could transform the way they lead and govern. This effort was built on nearly fifty years of deep, hands-on experience — decades of listening to board members, secretaries, superintendents, and staff who shared firsthand the challenges and complexities of effective governance.

GSBA didn’t just hear them — they responded.

Drawing from the wisdom gained through thousands of conversations, workshops, and partnerships, GSBA set out to design a tool that would bring clarity, structure, and simplicity to the core functions of school board work. The goal: to create an integrated platform that could support everything from meetings and planning to policy, evaluation, communication, and documentation.

What began as a vision in Georgia has become a nationwide solution. Nearly three decades later, Simbli now supports over 2,000 organizations — not just school districts, but also government agencies, hospitals, community groups, and homeowner associations across 32 states. Every dollar earned is reinvested into making Simbli stronger and furthering our mission to support public education. That reinvestment model isn’t just a business strategy — it’s a commitment to our purpose.

And we’re just getting started.

Today, we continue to listen and learn. Our customers and partners remain the driving force behind Simbli’s evolution — inspiring innovations, shaping improvements, and fueling the next chapter of our shared journey.
