Back Governance

Do you have the right skill set on your board?

Board room

Looking at what skills you have on your board is a good way to assess your strengths as an organisation and help with succession planning.  It is also a good exercise to identify gaps to help with board recruitment and see where you might need some external help.  

Parry Field Lawyers has a template to help give you a good sense of what skills you have, where you overlap, and where your gaps are.  You can personalise it to your organisation and board members self-evaluate using a scale of 0 to 3 with:


0= no experience
1 = some experience
2 = experience
3 = expert

You can download the template here.

Help us build huddl

huddl is a new initiative to strengthen community groups, charitable organisations and networks in Central Otago and Queenstown Lakes by providing the tools and support you need to thrive.

We want to build a resource that helps you achieve more, so we need your help. We are asking community groups to reflect on what’s holding you back and take part in a 10 minute survey so we can understand your challenges, barriers and highlight opportunities for us to build a solution that truly works for you. Your input will directly influence the resources and training we provide.
