Why Nonprofit Boards Need a Self-Assessment
A Board Self-Assessment is the primary process nonprofit Board’s have for measuring Board operations and governance effectiveness. Typically, non-profit Board self-assess themselves on an annual basis.
- Measure Board and CEO understanding of the nonprofit Board’s role, its governance oversight responsibilities and Board operations
- Identify opportunities for improving Board operations and governance effectiveness
- Develop a plan for increasing, monitoring Board effectiveness
- Strengthen the Board-CEO relationship
- Help ensure the nonprofit Board fulfills its governance duties
Tips for Using the Nonprofit Board Self-Assessment
- Include the CEO in the Board Evaluation process. The CEO works closely with the Board. Their insight is valuable.
- Ensure responses are confidential. Some participants will not respond fully or honestly if they fear that there responses are not confidential.
- Keep the time period reasonable for participants to complete and return the Fillable Board Evaluation Template. A couple of days is too little time. A couple of weeks is seldom necessary.
- Summarize the results and discuss with the full Board. Typically this is handled by the Governance Committee or an outside consultant.
- Prioritize opportunities for improving governance effectiveness and develop a governance improvement plan overseen by the Governance Committee.
