Boardsurveys: Tool to Benchmark Not-for-Profit Boards
A national board assessment service is joining forces with the Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) to launch an affordable new tool to help NFPs benchmark their governance.
Board Surveys – part of the Insync group – this week released a tailored survey and benchmarking report for small not-for-profits.
The Entry Level Board Survey – as the name suggests – is designed to be an easy introduction to quality benchmarking and is tailored to the needs of Australian not-for-profits.
The survey assesses boards in 14 measurement categories. Crucial to the design is that the survey and benchmarking report is mapped against ICDA’s training and resources, making it easy for boards to find the information they need to lift their game in particular areas.
ICDA executive director Adele Stowe-Lindner said the survey tool provided an easy and affordable board assessment for clubs, associations, and not-for-profits, including committees and other governance bodies.
The benchmarking tool allows organisations to rank themselves against hundreds of similar organisations, including charities, health services, education providers and social sector organisations.
“This agreement is a game changer for the governance and effectiveness of Australian boards."Adele Stowe-Lindner, executive director, ICDA
