TOOLS FOR IDENTIFYING, RECRUITING AND DEVELOPING A BOARD
WHAT MATERIALS TO BE SHARED WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS
It is important to
ensure that new Board members have adequate information to become familiar with the organization they are to
govern as responsible Board members/trustees. This would enable them to understand their role and any expectations clearly.
The key information, that needs to be made available to them are Vision,
mission, values, objective, principles, significant policies & procedures,
relevant legal & financial information.
A well-designed
induction programme is essential in helping new members to make relevant
contribution to their work on the Board. At the same time all Board members
should receive ongoing support and information from the management so that they
can develop their understanding of the overall environment within which they
work. The existing Board members should undertake a more active role in working
with newly-appointed Board members, to ensure that they are aware of the
expectations for the Board and that the key responsibilities and relationships
are well understood.
To provide
comprehensive information on the activities of the organization and its wider
implications of operations etc, some of the important material may be shared
with the Board.
