How do you recruit and motivate a board of unpaid volunteers? Which organizational tasks are "governance" and which should be delegated to management? The Nonprofit Leadership Team gets to the heart of what makes management/governance partnerships work or not work. Concise chapters cover topics including fundraising, board effectiveness, and accountability. Tricky topics, such as how a board must represent constituencies without acting as a delegate to special interests, are separated into a "Pitfalls" section to highlight common mistakes made by nonprofits. This book will help nonprofit organizations set expectations, define roles, and sharpen the their leaders' knowledge. The author is a former assistant dean and executive director of the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University and currently is a Washington, D.C.-based consultant for nonprofit organizations.
