This company board diversity and governance survey form is designed for organizations that want structured feedback on how their board is perceived by employees, investors, board members, executives, clients, and community stakeholders. It focuses on the issues that matter most in governance reviews, including board composition, visibility into member qualifications, representation of diverse perspectives, and confidence in board-level accountability.
The template includes questions about a respondent's relationship to the organization, how long they have been associated with it, how informed they are about the current board of directors, and how easy it is to find information about board member backgrounds and qualifications. It also covers perceptions of diversity across gender, ethnicity, age, professional background, and thought, along with whether stakeholder voices are reflected in board decision-making and which groups may be underrepresented.
Beyond board composition, the form helps assess governance communication and trust. Questions on familiarity with governance policies, awareness of ethics standards, and confidence in conflict of interest enforcement make it useful for governance audits, stakeholder engagement reviews, nonprofit leadership assessments, and internal accountability initiatives.
