We've recently started using a tool called dim dim. It has a good deal of functionality from document sharing to whiteboards and even desktop sharing. However, customer service is somewhat slow and everyone sitting in on a webinar needs to have the most recent versions of browsers and flash. Otherwise, it has been great. We have held multiple webinars with 30+ attendees each and have had great feedback.

Good topic! One of the boards I serve has a state-wide footprint, and they wanted to explore the possibility of using Skype for this purpose. I will be experimenting with it, but I'm not yet certain that we can do multiple-party VIDEO-conferencing via skype. And I don't want to ask the board to download it and try it if we're not going to keep it.
