In 2023, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) conducted the first Health Center Board Practices and Needs Assessment to: identify practices in health center governance; surface information to allow health center boards to compare their practices to other health center boards; and allow NACHC and its partners to gain information on board education needs in order to add to the over 50 resources and trainings already available.
This resource, “Health Center Board Practices and Needs Assessment 2023: Findings Report and Governance Benchmarking Tools,” includes an overview of the assessment; addresses findings and tips related to the three major categories of board roles: Strategy, Oversight and Policy, and Board Functioning; and provides information on additional training and resource needs. This publication also includes a dashboard tool to allow centers to compare certain governance practices to other center boards across the country.
