Trustee Report Card

Trustee Name: Date:___________________

Note: This is only one sample of what an evaluation of individual board members might look like. The key is to have some form of evaluation which is known by the full board. Only the board development (or nominating) committee would actually use this kind of tool in deciding which members up for re-election are deserving of that and which slots could possibly be filled by new members who could bring to the governance process more of the desired qualifications from the board profile.
