Perspectives: A Look at Governance and Board Assessments

Read time: 45 secs

Periodic board assessments are essential for evaluating and improving the governance of high-performing credit unions. In our latest edition of Perspectives magazine, Cornerstone League General Counsel Lisa Althoff-Simmons looks at the form, function, and value of board assessments for the directors at your credit union.

“A board assessment can identify issues and help address these issues through a governance action plan,” said Althoff-Simmons. "Assessments are a tool that can be tailored to the specific needs of your credit union to assist the board and management in achieving the results to fulfill its mission.”

Althoff-Simmons notes the many types of board assessments, depending on your credit union’s needs, and she describes them in detail.
