Board Assessment

Project details

What we need
  • 1-2 page summary of takeaways and trends from interviewing key individuals (no more than 8 interviews total)
  • Identification of the board’s strengths and recommendations for areas of improvement for board members collectively and individually
Additional details

Evaluation of Bylaws

What we have in place
  • We currently have A committed board, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have current by-laws, a communications committee, a board list, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,823 , allowing us to Reduce more waste and create affordable community resources. This project will also, hopefully, create more support and stability for the staff of Re-use Hawaii.

Re-use Hawaii is in it`s 12 year. We always had an advisory, fairly passive board. In the last few years, we`ve put a lot of work into building and developing the board. We`re ready to assess the board`s progress and find ways that the board can make a larger impact within the organization and help it become more sustainable and self-sustainable.
