1. The most effective non-profit Boards and charities perform five types of evaluations regularly: Whole Board, Self, Chair, Peer (these first four should be annual) plus Meetings (ideally, at each meeting). There are myriad tools available, which are constantly evolving. Make sure your nonprofit is using a tool developed for that sector, and not for the for-profit private sector.
2. The criteria are also seen within the content of the Client Centered Governance ® Essentials Certificate course, and are fundamental to our governance services.
