I am conducting research on effective boards that will be used to help our association recruit new board members, keep boards engaged, and create lines of board succession. Is there an application we could use?
I can recommend the BoardSource survey. I’ve taken it twice now, once as a board member of a regional planning organization, and last year as part of our organization’s board development process. It takes about 20 minutes to complete, but the questions are comprehensive, and you end up with a lot of good information that highlights the areas in which your board is functioning at a high level, and the areas that need attention. From the survey that our board took last fall, we’ve made a number of changes in how we plan and do the board’s work. We also found that in most areas we were following best practices. That's useful to know, too.
