Noolaham Foundation Governance Board/Board Assessment

The Governance Board is accountable to staff, volunteers, content contributors, source contributors, donors, supporters, users and the communities it serves. Assessment is an important component for accountability. Assessment is important to ensure that the Board members carry out their roles and duties reponsibily. The bricks can be updated during the time of the assessment and used as an approximate evaluation tool to guide the assessment process.

Two types of assessments are to be undertaken in November reflecting on the performance for the year. The achievements and shortcomings can be valuable input to the Annual Report.

• Board Assessment
• Board Member Self-Assessment

If a board member is not able to fulfill minimum duties, the Board shall undertake a Board Member Assessment. If the assessment results are poor, the Board shall request the member to become a Gray Member until they are able to contribute better. If that board member is unable to bring their performance up in the Gray Board, she/he shall cease their Governance Board directorship.
