As Chair of the Committee on Trustees (COT), you will want your committee to rewrite your Board Profile at least as often as your Board creates a fresh strategic plan/strategic financial plan. (ISM recommends a three- or four-year cycle for this.) You profile your Board to execute your strategic plan/strategic financial plan with the greatest distinction. While the Board Profile focuses foremost on those individual characteristics most obviously related to your planning document—e.g., nonprofit marketing expert or land developer—a general set of behaviors and attitudes, each of which can be placed under the general heading of “due diligence,” should undergird any Board Profile and be prominently listed in a special section of your profile document.
