Board Self-Assessment

A strong board of directors is central to a healthy and well-functioning organization. But how do you assess the strength of your board and identify where there are opportunities to grow? 

Our customized Board Self-Assessment helps your board reflect on what it is doing well, understand challenges that may be emerging, and identify opportunities for improvement in support of your organization’s mission. 

Our comprehensive Board Self-Assessment tool uses an online survey to invite individual board members to assess board governance, partnership with the chief executive, strategy, roles and responsibilities, culture, recruitment and retention, communication, meetings, fund development, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. We synthesize the input and report key themes and findings to the board to spark reflection and discussion.

The assessment includes a facilitated board training and survey debrief. More than just a survey tool, our assessment is a collaborative process designed to support reflection, inform decision-making, and strengthen your board’s and organization’s capacity.
