Board of Directors Assessment
Exclusively for Credit Unions
A high-functioning Board of Directors is a critical factor for credit unions to be successful in this challenging marketplace. Board members must be proactive and dedicated to the performance of their credit union, while proficiently monitoring the credit union's overall operations. An effective way to gauge the level of proficiency with your board is to conduct a Board of Directors Assessment with People Perspectives.
Our comprehensive Board of Directors Assessment is comprised of two parts:
- Group Board Assessment
- Individual Assessment
Between the two assessments, board members obtain all-inclusive feedback on how the board as a team is performing, and how each individual board member is contributing to the board's success. Here are some of the features of each:
