 ย  ideal	
 ย  mix	
 ย  of	
 ย  professional	
 ย  skills,	
 ย  resources,	
 ย 
backgrounds	
 ย  and	
 ย  experience,	
 ย  demographics,	
 ย  community	
 ย 
connections,	
 ย  and	
 ย  other	
 ย  characteristics	
 ย  that	
 ย  your	
 ย  board	
 ย 
requires	
 ย to	
 ย navigate	
 ย the	
 ย organizationโ€™s	
 ย challenges	
 ย in	
 ย the	
 ย next	
 ย 
three	
 ย to

 ย years?	
 ย 
	
 ย 
Always	
 ย  keep	
 ย  in

 ย  the	
 ย  value	
 ย  of	
 ย  diversity	
 ย  in	
 ย  establishing	
 ย 
your	
 ย โ€œidealโ€	
 ย board	
 ย composition	
 ย and	
 ย identifying	
 ย gaps.	
 ย 	
 ย Diversity

 ย breeds	
 ย varying	
 ย opinions,	
 ย approaches,	
 ย attitudes,	
 ย and	
 ย 
solutions.	
 ย 
	
 ย 
Once	
 ย it	
 ย is	
 ย clear	
 ย what	
 ย kind	
 ย of

 ย your	
 ย board	
 ย will	
 ย need	
 ย 
over	
 ย  the	
 ย  next	
 ย  several	
 ย  years,	
 ย  you	
 ย  must	
 ย  assess	
 ย  what	
 ย 
characteristics	
 ย  and	
 ย  attributes	
 ย  your	
 ย  current

 ย  	
 ย  Completing	
 ย  a	
 ย  board	
 ย  matrix	
 ย  will	
 ย  allow	
 ย  you

to	
 ย do	
 ย this.	
 ย 
	
 ย 
Download	
 ย your

 ย  you	
 ย  outline	
 ย  the	
 ย  current	
 ย  mix	
 ย  of	
 ย  skills,	
 ย 
demographics,	
 ย and	
 ย expertise	
 ย on	
 ย your	
 ย board	
 ย and	
 ย then	
 ย compare	
 ย 
it	
 ย  to	
 ย  the	
 ย  ideal	
 ย  mix	
 ย  you	
 ย  identified	
 ย  earlier.	
 ย  Where	
 ย  are	
 ย  there	
 ย 
significant	
 ย  gaps?	
 ย  	
 ย  Once	
 ย  you	
 ย  have	
 ย  identified	
 ย  the	
 ย  gaps,	
 ย  you	
 ย 
can	
 ย  develop	
 ย  profiles	
 ย  of	
 ย  prospective	
 ย  candidates	
 ย  who	
 ย  would	
 ย  fill	
 ย 
these	
 ย gaps.
