The following check-up outlines the main roles and responsibilities of a board. Ask yourself whether your board fulfils these roles (pdf, 239KB).

These check-ups are intended for self-directed assessment. They can be used by leaders, board directors, or group members who want to evaluate the governance and leadership of their organisation, community or nation. You can do the check-up on your own or as a group and then compare results.
