The Regional Council Self]Assessment and Resource Toolkit is intended to assist executive directors of regional councils, along with policy board members, in conducting a basic organizational analysis.
The toolkit is based on extensive interviews, observations and input from national, state and local leaders involved in the regional council industry (including EDAfs 381 Economic Development Districts).
The toolkit is intended to help policy officials and executive directors think through the various aspects and challenges of governing and operating a highly successful regional council. It does not necessarily cover every aspect of regional council management, but it does provide a starting point for conducting an honest self]assessment of the overall condition of the organization.
