Product Description
Here is a book for all boards:

? Those wanting to operate with maximum effectiveness ?Those needing to clarify exactly what their job is ? Those wanting to ensure that all members ? novice and veteran ? are ?on the same page? with respect to their role and responsibilities

Kay Sprinkel Grace?s new work will take your board members only one hour to read, and yet they?ll come away from The Ultimate Board Member?s Book with a firm command of just what they need to do to help your organization succeed.

It?s all here in jargon-free language: how boards work, what the job entails, the time commitment involved, the role of staff, serving on committees and task forces, fundraising responsibilities, conflicts of interest, group decision-making, effective recruiting, de-enlisting board members, board self-evaluation, and more.

In sum, everything a board member needs to know to understand their role and serve capably is explored.

Real world, not theoretical, concrete not abstract, The Ultimate Board Member's Book focuses on issues and concerns that all board members will inevitably face and grapple with.

This enlightening one-hour read is THE book to which nonprofit organizations in America turn to hone the skills and effectiveness of their boards.

The Ultimate Board Member's Book: A 1-Hour Guide to Understanding and Fulfilling Your Role and Responsibilites This book is a "Must have" for anyone who is serving as a board member - from a neighborhood organization on up.


5 out of 5 stars great read - great info   November 10, 2008
As an Executive Director of a Chamber of Commerce, this book is wonderful to share with newly elected board members and to remind the existing board members of their key roles in the organization. I recommend that all directors read this great book. I keep it on hand and refer to it quite a bit along with my organizations by-laws.

This is a good book, but the title is misleading in that it is written for the non-profit board member. A good basic review regardless.


5 out of 5 stars Every Board member needs to read this.   March 7, 2007

Thank you Kay for reminding us that this is noble service. This easy to read guide is a must for any board member, new or experienced. Kay's straighforward, non-nonsense style helps the reader understand the importance of their work and the value it brings to their organization and to their community.
