Looking for a director to serve on your governing body?

The IoDSA provides the following services and resources to aid organisations in their search for finding a director to serve on their board/governing body.

 Director Due Diligence
It is important for the governing body to conduct a proper due diligence on a potential candidate it is considering for a board position. Conversely, it is also important for a potential director who is considering the position to do the same in respect of the organisation. Our guidance paper will assist you on what to consider in your due diligence process.

 Individual Director Peer Review Questionnaire Template

Evaluating each individual director/member's performance and contribution on the board/governing body is imperative to ensure an effective board. Such evaluation results should be used when considering whether or not to re-nominate a director who is up for re-election. The IoDSA has made its intellectually protected individual director peer review questionnaire available to help improve board performance in South Africa.
