• Online survey = “To give back to the community”• Interviews = distinct and diverse passions and motivations• A few Board members didn’t really know why they where there
0• Online survey = “Everyone knows what their job is, we are great”• Interviews = “We don’t have a Strategic Direction”• Nobody could identify any significant value added by the Board
0• Online survey = “Meetings run on time, everyone is civil”• Interviews = formal meetings stifling some people• ‘New’ members deferring to ‘Old’ members

Most effective questions were:• Is there a particular part of this organisation that you are most
passionate about?• What value do you add to this Board?• In what way has this Board influenced or changed this
organisation in the past 12 months?• If you were going to start the organisation from scratch, how
would you go about it?• Describe your Board in three words
