Great resource, Rick.
We are just starting to use one of these before each board meeting for ongo
ing development - great variety of topics and you can't beat the price.
Also, I'm attaching a sample of a Board Matrix like the one we use for iden
tifying new Board members. Having a visual tool like this really helps our
Governance Committee know who we need to 'round out' our team. Although it'
s not likely that you'll find a 30-ish, Latino man with an accounting degre
e and connections to local environmental groups - by knowing you need these
features, you ARE more likely to find someone who has 2 or 3 qualities. :)
Hope this helps.

Subject: Criteria for Board of Directors
We would like to know if any other historical societies out there have deve
loped criteria for evaluating prospective board members. This is probably a
task the board should do themselves, with or without input from the execut
ive director, but it would be helpful for us if we had some examples of wha
t criteria other organizations use to evaluate candidates. Also: do you hav
e requirements for candidacy that you publicize?
Thank you for help-and any advice on the subject of director selection is w
elcome and appreciated!
