Book excerpt: Any nonprofit that wants to survive beyond the nineties had better be governed by an effective, flexible board of directors. But what role should a nonprofit board play in fulfilling the organization's mission? How should the board carry out its responsibility to see that funds and other resources are used in the most efficient possible manner? How can the board perform its duties without alienating staff members? What pitfalls can divert a nonprofit board from addressing critical board functions? Nonprofit Boards: Roles, Responsibilities, and Performance answers these questions and many more. This book is dedicated to helping nonprofit board members, chairpersons, and executive directors develop and manage effective boards, empowered to respond to the special needs of their organizations. Diane J. Duca offers different ways to approach organizing and utilizing a board by presenting different board models. Using case studies and illustrations from real-life situations, she explores every aspect of board management, clarifies the roles of board members and executives, and discusses the board's legal and ethical obligations. In her discussion of core responsibilities--strategic planning, policy setting, fiscal oversight, and fund-raising--Ms. Duca focuses on creating a spirit of cooperation between board and staff. Nonprofit boards that successfully fulfill their obligations and perform responsibly inspire staff members and set an example for everyone in the organization. Regardless of your organization's managerial style or the structure of your board--passive or active, entrepreneurial or averse to risk--this invaluable guide will help board members and staff to develop mission-based policies, increase support, and improve communications between board and staff. Nonprofit board members who understand and accept their roles as trustees offer a vital service not only to their organization but also to society. Nonprofit Boards is designed to help them carry out this important duty. Too often, a nonprofit organization's efforts to fulfill its mission or use its resources efficiently are frustrated by an ineffectual, poorly defined, or adversarial relationship between the board and staff. Nonprofit Boards: Roles, Responsibilities, and Performance will help executives and board members avoid these conflicts with invaluable guidance and strategies for effective board management. Using case studies and real-life examples, it clarifies the roles and functions of board members and executives, details board duties, including strategic planning and fiscal oversight, describes different organizational models for nonprofit boards and discusses their advantages and disadvantages, explains how structural diversity within the board can maximize its effectiveness and flexibility, discusses legal and ethical obligations and how the board can ensure that the nonprofit fulfills its mission, examines cooperative board-staff relations and how a board can be the catalyst for organizational change, and presents contemporary issues facing nonprofits and their boards, including government relations, image-building, professionalism, and diversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new framework for helping nonprofit organizations maximize the effectiveness of their boards. Written by noted consultants and researchers attuned to the needs of practitioners, Governance as Leadership redefines nonprofit governance. It provides a powerful framework for a new covenant between trustees and executives: more macrogovernance in exchange for less micromanagement. Informed by theories that have transformed the practice of organizational leadership, this book sheds new light on the traditional fiduciary and strategic work of the board and introduces a critical third dimension of effective trusteeship: generative governance. It serves boards as both a resource of fresh approaches to familiar territory and a lucid guide to important new territory, and provides a road map that leads nonprofit trustees and executives to governance as leadership. Governance as Leadership was developed in collaboration with BoardSource, the premier resource for practical information, tools and best practices, training, and leadership development for board members of nonprofit organizations. Through its highly acclaimed programs and services, BoardSource enables organizations to fulfill their missions by helping build effective nonprofit boards and offering credible support in solving tough problems.
