Reviewing and renewing

The management committee/board should periodically review its own and the organisation’s effectiveness and take any necessary steps to ensure that both continue to work well and meet legal requirements.

Renewal and recruitment

Recruitment of new management committee/board members should be open and focused on creating a diverse, skilled and effective management committee/board. The management committee/board should plan for and have a strategy for its own renewal.

Review

The management committee/board should periodically carry out reviews of all aspects of the organisation’s work, starting with its governing document, and use the results to inform positive change.

Performance appraisal

The management committee/board should regularly review and assess its own performance, that of individual management committee/board members and of sub-committees, standing groups and other bodies.
