New Effective Voluntary Bd Of Directors: What It Does And How It Works

It is estimated that over one million non-profit or voluntary organizations are incorporated in the United States and there are countless others throughout the world. Although they range in size and purpose from small social clubs to large and complex organizations such as universities and hospitals, they all have one thing in common: a board of directors of some type. What these boards do varies as much as the organizations. "The New Effective Voluntary Board of Directors" provides clear answers, backed up with graphics, to heretofore ambiguous and bewildering questions, such as definitions of policy, function of boards, role of board members and many other issues. Dealing with the delicate balance in non-profit organizations, the legal implications of serving on a board, the non-profit leadership and management model and other matters of concern, William Conrad applies his lifelong experience to providing a comprehensive, practical and concise tool for those involved in the unique challenges associated with the leadership and management of non-profit and voluntary groups.
