Training Overview

Is your new board ready to conduct self-assessments? Learn how to measure and optimize board performance.

With your new or returning board members starting to settle in, now is the time to get them used to regularly conducting self-assessments to evaluate how well the Board fulfills its responsibilities, adheres to state and federal laws, and meets fiduciary obligations. You can also measure your board’s effectiveness in collaborating with staff, fundraising, planning, and evaluation.

You need to choose an appropriate self-assessment tool and analyze the results. Each director can evaluate their personal performance as a board member or the entire board can review how well it is performing its governance function.
