Board Survey Conclusions - Preliminary
What we do well and should leverage in the future:
• Board members understand and agree with the mission of TWC and our local strategic plan.
• Members feel comfortable expressing their opinions and that their thoughts are valued.
We need to work to strengthen the following:
• Need to increase visibility of TWC. (Marketing and Program Committee) People affected by cancer.
Organizations that provide service to those affected. • Board members want to know more about TWC programs and services.
(Program Committee) • Board members want to know more about their role as board members
and how they can most effectively contribute. (Governance Committee)

Quotes
• 5. The board is effective in raising short term operating funds.
– Not full board,; executive more effective
• 6. The board is effective in implementing financial initiatives to insure the long term financial security of TWC.
– Finance Committee is but not necessarily board as a group.
• 8. Management reports give you a clear idea of the progress toward achieving the organization’s goals
– Which ones? Some, not all
November 26, 2004 Governance Committee 28
Quotes
• 13. TWC is “visible” in the community.– Certain segments more visible than others– Within our (board’s) own socio-economic circles, but not necessarily
the greater community.
• 17. TWC is moving forward on key priorities.– Not sure if I know the key priorities
• 19. Open and honest communication is encouraged at
board meetings.– Run a bit too tightly at times for good dialogue
