Board Self-Evaluation

The Board shall plan and conduct, at least annually, a thorough self-evaluation. This evaluation may be conducted in a regular meeting, in a special meeting, or in a workshop setting. The yearly review shall include an analysis of: 

1. Board procedures;

2. Board member training;

3. Conflict resolution;

4. Working relationships with the College president

5. Conduct at Board meetings;

6. Long-range planning and goal setting; and

7. Relationship with the community.

In the month or months before the discussion, the Board as a whole shall:

8. Review the Board’s goals for the current year to ensure that all Board members are familiar with Board priorities.

9. Reaffirm the purposes of the self-evaluation so that all Board members understand the desired outcomes of the exercise.

10. Review or select an evaluation instrument, and adapt the instrument to ensure that it will yield the desired information on Board

    performance.

11. Identify and collect any information or materials the Board might need in conducting its self-evaluation. This material might include

    documentation on College District goals for the current year, reports of the Board’s success and progress in meeting these goals, records

    of Board meetings and community participation, newspaper clippings, and the like.

12. Have each Board member complete the evaluation instrument separately, several weeks in advance of the discussion.

13. Tabulate individual responses to the instrument and provide a copy of the tabulation to each Board member.
