Foundation Board Evaluation

I understand the Foundation financial statements that are distributed with Board materials prior to meetings for review.

I find serving on the Ivy Tech Foundation Board to be a rewarding and satisfying experience.

Optional comment: Do you have suggestions for improving your board experience?

I am prepared for and comfortable participating in Board meetings and discussions.

I understand all the expectations of me as a Board member and feel I am able to meet those expectations.

I am comfortable acting as a goodwill ambassador on behalf of the Ivy Tech Foundation.

I understand the Foundation’s strategic plan and how it supports the College’s strategic plan.

I understand where and how funds that are raised are spent and what processes exist around the allocation of these funds.

Board:

The amount of time required of me as a Board member is appropriate.

The Board taps into my expertise and/or networks effectively.

The Foundation's President is open and accessible for feedback and communication.

Having Foundation leadership attend and participate in Board meetings and discussions adds value to the meetings.

The Board uses its time wisely at meetings; we are talking about the right topics and spend appropriate time on those topics.

The Board membership has the right mix of experiences, talents, and expertise to be effective.

Optional comment on Board membership effectiveness.

In relation to the makeup of the Board and our efforts to be an accountable and diverse group of directors, do you think the Board membership should be representative of:

The student population we serve
The population of Indiana
The population of our donor base

In our deliberations and discussions, the Board maintains the right balance between operational details and strategic issues.

I have a sound understanding of the Foundation’s vision, plans, and strategic direction.

Board Officers have the time, experience, and skills to fulfill their leadership roles.

The number and focus areas of the Board committees are appropriate to accomplish Foundation goals and strategic plans.

The new board member orientation process is effective.

Optional comment on Board orientation effectiveness.

I know the Foundation's staff and Board members understand each of their roles.

I understand the division between staff operations and management and Board governance.

Please include any additional comments on what makes your Board experience positive or how the Board experience can improve.
