Board Meeting Evaluation Form

The following form was created for governing board members to use at the conclusion of each board meeting in order to review and improve upon its meetings.  The chair should hand the evaluation out to board members at the conclusion of the meeting and collect it as Board Members are leaving.  Prior to the next meeting, the chair should review the evaluations and make recommendations to the full board at the start of the following meeting on potential improvements.  Some improvements will be simple changes while others may require policy to be written.

A similar form and process can be used for any team that meets on a regular basis.  Consider what your goal is as a team.  Why are you meeting? What are your tasks? Then design the questions in a way that will assess how well you are accomplishing that goal.
