A comprehensive resource for anyone who wants to take their experience in the business world and serve a nonprofit with passion and clarity. Without a clear understanding of how nonprofits work, service on a board can be a frustrating experience. This book offers a guide to the roles and responsibilities of a nonprofit board member. The authors provide a step-by-step guide to how board members can work with a nonprofit organization to achieve the organization's overarching mission, attain financial sustainability, and develop and execute the systems needed to accomplish both. Based on more than 10 years of research from Rice University and Harvard Business School and filled with illustrative examples, the book explores the basic structure of a nonprofit, explains how to build and monitor a nonprofit's mission, and identifies how the board performs an effective assessment of a nonprofit.--From publisher description.
