Understand and improve board performance.
Impactful boards intentionally strive to strengthen relationships, build trust, and improve individual and organizational effectiveness. A regular survey of board members can provide actionable insights into how well the board is aligned with the institution’s mission and vision, where the board excels, and where it needs improvement.
AGB’s Board Performance Survey comprises up to 30 fixed questions to help you evaluate your board’s performance and uncover areas for development. AGB will work with you to distribute the survey to your board and compile results, delivered to your board professional as both a report and raw data. An AGB consultant can help you review the results of your survey during a complimentary One-Hour Governance Consultation.
Access to this tool is an exclusive AGB member benefit that is available at no additional cost once during each term of membership. AGB recommends using the Board Performance Survey annually for a basic understanding of board alignment around your strategic governance challenges and opportunities. The results can:
Guide Boardroom Discussions
Inform Your One-Hour
Governance Consultation
Influence Board Development
“The Board Performance Survey that was included with our AGB membership provided an important opportunity for reflection by our board’s leaders. Early insights included areas ripe for board education and awareness-building, as well as opportunities for deeper exploration and discussion. The survey results will serve as an important touchpoint for constructive dialogue within our board for some time to come.”
