  *   Conduct a self-assessment of board roles and responsibilities using this MentorCorps module.<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/Board%20Responsibilities.zip> Or better yet, apply to have a Mentor<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/oh/pages/mentorcorps.aspx> go through it with you!
  *   New to building agendas or need a refresher? Build Board Agendas<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/HB36_BoardAgendas2.pdf> with ease, and with just the right amount of detail.
