DESCRIPTION:
Good Governance for Nonprofits H. McConnell A concise overview and introduction to the work of the various committees of a nonprofit board. Most helpful is the outline of a "Board Policies Manual" and a step-by-step guide to preparing it as the first step of governance. I am glad I have this book but it is basic rather than compr. "A Must Read for all Nonprofit Leaders" according to Tom Okarma. This book is one of the very best at helping nonprofit boards elevate their performance and thereby increasing agency impact. It is written and organized in a very clear, understandable, and easy-to-use format. You can literally open the book and begin applying its wisdom immediately. I. "Great Guideline for Non Profits" according to Betty Busbee. I ordered this book because I am on the board of several non-profit organizations. It is an excellent guide for such groups. I would recommend that any such organization or agency get this book.
