Helping Your Board Evaluate Itself

Tonight, my Board of Directors did its very first self-evaluation. It's a good thing for Boards to do from time to time. Boards, just like individuals, can very easily slip, over time, into doing things they shouldn't.

Here's a good resource for your board to use to evaluate itself:

"The Great Board Debate--How Should Ministry Boards Govern?" by James C. Galvin. You'll find it at this link: http://www.galvinandassociates.com/ideas/Great_Board_Debate.pdf

His "Five Ways To Function As A Board" should inspire plenty of healthy conversation among your board members!
