Objectives of the Nonprofit Board Self Assessment Process
The key objectives of the nonprofit Board self assessment process are to measure current governance effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement.

It also helps the Board measure progress against planned improvements from previous Board evaluations.

Tips for Using the Fillable Nonprofit Board Self Assessment
- Include the CEO in the Nonprofit Board Self Assessment process. The CEO works closely with the Board and it is vital to understand the CEO’s perspective.
- Ensure that all responses and feedback are confidential. If participants fear the confidentiality of their feedback, they may not answer honestly.
- Allow approximately ten days for the Board to complete the self assessment. Allowing too much or too little time is not helpful.
- Results of the nonprofit Board self assessment should be summarized and presented to the Board. Typically this is handled by the Governance Committee (or an outside consultant).
