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
What we have in place
  • We currently have a dedicated board, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have great staff who are committed to our success, 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 100 clients who need help.

The success of our organization depends on effective board leadership. Without your help, we cannot grow to better serve our constituents. Your skills will empower us to expand the organization to achieve our mission.
