• Planning and Evaluation

• Marketing & Communication
• Programming
• Human Resources
• Operations: Information Technology, Facilities & Equipment

Report: Issues identified and possible next steps

This review process results in a written report to the organization's leadership that outlines recommendations for possible next steps.  Information gathered during the assessment process remains confidential within the organization. 

Why do an Organization Assessment?

• It is an efficient and effective way to have a check-up on your organization's health.
• If you are at a turning point - with new board or staff members, or after completing a major project - it can help you plan a course for the future.
• You will get a sense of how your group is doing compared to best practices in the field.
• You can prioritize which area to focus on first in order to improve your organization.
