The Chief Executive is charged with working with the board to set vision and strategy for the organization.

As board members, you have limited interaction with many staff and solid interaction with key staff leaders (Development, Finance, for example). Please answer these questions to the best of your ability.

Here the board is evaluating both the staff’s ability to drive resources to the organization as well as to provide support to the board in the fulfillment of its own fundraising responsibilities.

Here the board is evaluating both the staff’s ability to manage the finances to the organization as well as the staff’s partnership with the board in the fulfillment of its own responsibilities around fiscal management.

Nonprofit organizations thrive in a shared leadership model, when board and staff work together in a partnership. Here you are evaluating the E.D.’s relationship with the board and how well the board and E.D. work together to lead the organization.

The E.D. is the public face of the organization. A key responsibility is to be an effective ambassador, to lead in an array of visibility opportunities within the movements and to be held in high regard by professional colleagues.
