Abstract
Can nonprofit boards conduct accurate and trustworthy evaluations of their own performance? Factors that limit trustee self‐assessments include problems with available instruments as well as with trustees' critical abilities. Drawing upon previous research that identified six dimensions of board competencies, the author developed and field‐tested a new instrument for use in board self‐assessments. Information on the reliability and validity of this approach is presented, and implications are drawn for board efforts to monitor and appraise their performance.Keywords
