Template – Training Needs Assessment for Board Members

Nonprofits often seek out Board members who bring valuable skills or experiences to the table but who may not have previous experience on Boards or a background in corporate governance. These Board members might represent the beneficiaries of the organization, have strong ties to the community or bring a specific skillset which the Board needs. While every Board member will bring their own area of expertise, it is important that every Board member has an understanding of nonprofit governance. This template is designed to identify any gaps which the Board may need to address with training.
