Board of Directors - Self Assessment |
Introduction
Volunteer board members desire to have engaging and rewarding volunteer experiences.
Non-profits seek leadership and support of a board that brings their very best to every meeting and to the agency. The board self-assessment process is a way to see whether the board and agency are meeting these mutual goals.
The self-study process will provide a framework that assesses board member's perceptions of current governance practice and stimulates conversation of how to strengthen the board's performance. This board self-assessment is a measurement tool that facilitates a greater understanding of how the board thinks it is doing at a particular point and time and to identify priorities for enhancing governance and organizational effectiveness.
