Boards Help Sheets Part 3 - Better Boards - Assessing and Improving your Board

Even well-functioning Boards will need some fine-tuning from time to time. It is essential, therefore, that all not-for profit Boards take regular steps to assess how they are performing and work to improve themselves.

• How effective is my Board?
• Why do we need to assess our own performance?
• How can we tackle this task sensitively?

These help sheets will help you answer these questions and ensure your Board continues to think about and improve its performance without breaking stride.

We will be adding new help sheets regularly so keep coming back to check out the latest tools and resources to help strengthen your Board and yourself as a Board member.
