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

Board self-assessment and development (are we getting the right skill sets and increasing diversity?)

What we have in place
  • We currently have board bio's, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have whatever we can provide to assist, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,773 , allowing us to be able to make sure we have the right people leading the organization.

This will show if we have the board we need!
