Course Curriculum
A board has the ultimate responsibility for envisioning the future direction of the organization that it serves, as well as approving the organization’s mission, vision, goals and strategies. However, to be effective, this group must meet its objectives and progress.
One of five responsibilities of a board, the fifth is the most problematic – “The board is responsible for itself.” The board has to monitor, critique and improve itself. Despite how critical a board self‐evaluation is to effective governing, it is a tool that is often overlooked. Also essential for the board’s success are identifying opportunities for improvement and providing its members with the proper support to solve its own issues.
It’s recommended that nonprofit boards conduct self‐assessments every two years. Not only do these exercises help boards to hold themselves accountable, they form a platform from which to increase transparency, advancement and success.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participants will be able to:
- Describe the importance of board self-evaluations and necessary areas of assessment.
- Explain how to conduct basic evaluations, as well those that are more advanced.
- Demonstrate how to manage the results of a self-assessment to gain the most value.
- Discuss how to strengthen the board via performance improvement, objective communication and engagement.
Target Audience
This session is ideal for hospital board members, hospital CEOs, board liaisons and others interested in hospital board governance issues.
