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.

Governance as Leadership by Richard P. Chait,William P. Ryan,Barbara E. Taylor Pdf
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.

Nonprofit Governance by Bruce R. Hopkins,Virginia C. Gross Pdf
Nonprofit Governance Law, Practices & Trends Governance seems to be the subject that is perched atop every nonprofit lawyer's worry/wish list, despite the fact that there is not much law on the point, particularly at the federal level. This ascension in importance is largely due to the various organizations propounding best practices and principles for public charities and other forms of nonprofit organizations, the IRS's redesigned Form 990, the agency's aggressive push of certain good governance principles in the tax-exempt organizations' setting, and scandals brought to light by the Senate Finance Committee staff. Stemming from the authors' endless hours of meditating over the new Form 990 and sifting through the many (and often inconsistent) best practices principles, Nonprofit Governance fills the need for some cohesion in the realm of nonprofit governance by providing in-depth coverage and explanations of the laws, practices, and trends in this volatile area. An invaluable resource for nonprofit executives, officers, directors, nonprofit lawyers, accountants, members of boards of directors, and consultants, legal experts Bruce R. Hopkins and Virginia Gross's Nonprofit Governance brims with detailed documentation and references to regulations, rulings, cases, and tax literature (which includes current articles and tax law review notes). Here, readers will find a wealth of clarifying information on: Federal and state law fundamentals Board member responsibilities and liability Nonprofit governance principles Nonprofit governance issues Application of the private benefit doctrine Governance and the redesigned Form 990 Recommended polices and procedures Governance case studies Governance legal audit A law primer for nonprofit board members And much more The book includes an exhaustive index, Internal Revenue Code citations and numerous case studies, tips, forms, and checklists to round out the authoritative coverage. Nonprofit Governance is an indispensable guide to, and through, all of the governance policymaking that is unfolding, to improve the management of nonprofit organizations as well as to help organizations be in compliance with nonprofit governance law.
