Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards

As I mentioned in the previous post we are getting ready for Board Boot Camp on Saturday. Each participant will receive a copy of the Board Source book-Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards. In less than 100 easy to read pages, with practical examples and tips, this book discusses the following ten responsibilities:

1. Determine mission and purpose

2. Select the Chief Executive

3. Support and evaluate the Chief Executive

4. Ensure Effective Planning

5. Monitor and Strengthen Programs and Services

6. Ensure Adequate Financial Resources

7. Protect Assets and Provide Financial Oversight

8. Build a Competent Board

9. Ensure Legal & Ethical Integrity

10. Enhance the Organization’s Public Standing

At $19 for members and $29 for nonmembers on the Board Source website, it is an easy decision to make sure that all of your Board Members have this great reference book. And it is also available as a digital download.
