Sample Elements from a Board Self-Assessment Questionnaire
In brief: Developed with the Report of the NACD Blue Ribbon Commission on Board Evaluation: Improving Director Effectiveness, this sample questionnaire is designed to assist directors with conducting full-board evaluations.

NASDAQ-listed companies and private companies have no such requirements, however the practice of conducting board evaluations has become increasingly common among all company types.
