From Good to Great: Assessing Your Board’s Effectiveness
Smart organizations have well-articulated missions and visions.
Measuring success, however, is often overlooked or unclear. One important area for measuring success is board performance and an annual self-assessment of the board of directors’ accomplishments and performance is a sign of a healthy organization.
As a board, you are responsible for building the future of your organization and reporting progress to your stakeholders. An annual assessment will reveal leadership development needs. It also provides an opportunity to celebrate accomplishments, an important part of your communication to your stakeholders. And finally, it offers critical momentum from one board year to the next, ensuring progress, focus, and achievement.
In this session you will learn the components and process for an effective assessment of your board.
Presented by Cary Gray Kelly. Cary Gray Kelly has worked in strategic marketing and organizational development for non-profits for 15 years. She has specialized in board and executive leadership development and planning. Today, Kelly’s practice focuses on coaching executives and executive teams, including boards, to development excellence in leadership in order to effectively manage times of discernment, growth and change.
