GBH uses the DocuSign platform to obtain electronic signatures for contracts and other Legal documentation. These documents are typically sent from a centralized GBH account called the WGBH Agreement Service. Signers outside of GBH do not need to have a DocuSign account to sign or countersign documents and will be provided copies of the documents when they have completed the DocuSign process.
I received an email from "WGBH Agreement Service". What do I do?
1. To sign a GBH agreement using DocuSign, click on the Review Document button in the email from the WGBH Agreement Service..
2. Check the I agree to use electronic records and signatures box and click Continue to proceed.
