Description
Write a review
This collection of most-requested articles from CompassPoint's "Board Café" online newsletter is essential reading for busy board members of nonprofits and the staff members who work with them. Now updated with new essays that are "short enough to read over a cup of coffee," this book offers insights on board, committee and officer responsibilities, board structure, executive directors, fundraising, finance and more.
New topics in this edition include:
- Eleven ways to get a new executive director off to a good start
- A board member's guide to nonprofit insurance
- How to take a public stand
- Working boards versus governing boards
- Meaningful board-staff acts of appreciation
- What boards need to know about copyrights
The Best of the Board Café will be a valuable quick-reference guide for staff and boards of institutionally related foundations and alumni associations.
