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

We are preparing for our strategic planning cycle and hope to gain insight from our Board and some key constituents.

What we have in place
  • We currently have access to online survey building technology, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a strong list of participants, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,773 , allowing us to serve our LGBTQ+ organizations in ways most optimal for the community as a whole.

This project will allow us to obtain a 360 view of where our organization has been, where we are now, and where we are going. We hope to ensure that our goals align with the needs of our key constituents.
