GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD CULTURE
- The Board of Directors, in cooperation with staff, works to ensure the mission of the organization is relevant, current and consistent with the needs of the organization’s constituency.
- The board speaks with one voice. Diverse perspectives are critical to the board’s ability to govern effectively; however, the power of the board resides in the board as a whole. After a decision is made, each board member is expected to support the majority decision of the board, regardless of how the individual board member voted or his or her personal view of the board’s decision.

Six Signs It’s Time To Access Your Boards Performance
Performance assessments often raise anxiety and even fear. Many people associate them with judgment, bias,
and the need to defend one’s actions. However, without appropriate monitoring and feedback, it is difficult to
evaluate whether your board is meeting goals and embracing recommended practices. This is where a board self-
assessment becomes an important tool. In fact, BoardSource recommends that your board should be engaging in a comprehensive governance self-assessment every two to three years.
Here are six signs indicating that it may be time for your board to assess its performance (and there are more!)
