Step 2: Board Evaluation Data

Stakeholders: Board President (or Trusted Agent)

Objective: SuperEval automatically compiles self-evaluation data into a comprehensive report. This report allows the board to review results by collective average, individual responses, and highlights the highest and lowest-rated competencies. These insights provide a foundation for discussions celebrating the strengths of the board and also the perceived areas of need for development.

Step 4: Monitor Progress on Objectives & Determine Results
