The Ultimate Board Member's Book, Newly Revised Edition: A 1-Hour Guide to Understanding and Fulfilling Your Role and Responsibilities

The Ultimate Board Member's Book takes just 60 minutes to read, yet it provides a solid command of what board members must do to help their organization succeed. It's all here in jargon-free language: how boards work, what the job entails, the time commitment, the role of staff, serving on committees and task forces, fundraising responsibilities, conflicts of interest, group decision-making, how to develop yourself, effective recruiting, de-enlisting board members, board self-evaluation, and more. Complements the books, How to Make Your Board Dramatically More Effective, Starting Today, by Gayle Gifford and The Board Member's Easier Than You Think Guide to Nonprofit Finances, by Andy Robinson and Nancy Wasserman.
