Objectives of the Board Evaluation Process
The Board Evaluation is the primary process Board’s have for measuring Board performance and governance effectiveness. Typically, Board evaluations are conducted annually. This regular monitoring helps the Board stay current with opportunities to maintain and improve its governance effectiveness. It also helps the Board measure progress against planned improvements from previous Board evaluations.
Specific goals of the Board evaluation survey process:
- Objectively measure Director and CEO understanding of the Board’s role, its governance oversight responsibilities and Board operations
- Align the Board with its role and identify opportunities for improving Board operations
- Develop and oversee a plan for maintaining, increasing Board effectiveness
- Build a stronger more productive relationship between the Board and the CEO
- Fulfill a primary Board governance duty to ensure that organization is well lead
Tips for Using the Fillable Board Evaluation Template
- Include the CEO in the Board Evaluation process. In fact, it is helpful to include anyone who works closely enough with the Board to have an informed perspective. Do not include people who do not.
- Ensure that responses to the Board evaluation template are confidential. Some participants will not respond fully or honestly if they fear that there responses are not confidential.
- Keep the time period reasonable for participants to complete and return the Fillable Board Evaluation Template. A couple of days is too little time. A couple of weeks is seldom necessary.
- Once all the Board Evaluation feedback has been gathered using the Evaluation Template, results should be summarized and presented to the Board. Typically this is handled by the Governance Committee or an outside consultant.
- The outcome of a successful Board evaluation should be a plan to address opportunities for improving governance effectiveness.
