    Nonprofit Boards That Work: The End of One-Size-Fits-All Governance

     
    How to make nonprofit boards more effective
    5/21/2001
    Goodwill is all well and good—but hardly enough to help the increasing number of nonprofit boards function effectively. Maureen Robinson's book Nonprofit Boards That Work provides remedies and guidance for boards that need more direction. Written in an approachable "how-to" style, this guidebook offers a step-by-step method to define a board's role, analyze board culture to create productive boards, create working partnerships, and engage all board members. Readers have much to gain by adhering to Robinson's philosophy: "Given a reason to be better and some guidance and support along the way, a board can change itself and change the way it is valued in the organization."
