The value of conducting a board self-evaluation is especially critical this year.

We will discuss NJSBA’s online tool for the Annual Board Self-Evaluation (BSE), including what the BSE covers, why boards should complete the BSE, the benefits of completing the BSE, ways to use the results of the compiled document, and how to complete it online.
