Assessing Your Board & Strategic Recruitment: October 22nd (8:30 am - noon)When was the last time your board conducted a thoughtful assessment of its collective performance and individual responsibilities? A well-designed board evaluation can serve as a powerful catalyst for improved engagement, targeted learning, and progress toward fundraising and governance goals. This session will explore how to implement meaningful board assessments and use the results to inform strategic recruitment and development efforts. Participants will learn effective approaches to move beyond the traditional “who do you know” model of board nominations and toward a more intentional, mission-aligned process. The discussion will offer practical strategies and insights to strengthen board performance, deepen engagement, and build a governing body that advances organizational excellence.
