Self Assessment Checklist for Groups

Volunteer groups can use this checklist as starting place for evaluation of your community group or association. Consider how your group/association/board/committee would answer each question. Share your thoughts with other members of your group, and/or discuss at a board meeting. Reach out for help with any of these categories, or for a general review with Community Development Coordinator.
