Building and maintaining effective staff-board relationships is an on-going challenge for today’s nonprofit organizations. The author has spent much of his career professing that continuous board development is the key to effective functioning of nonprofits both now and in the future. His service as a top executive of local and national nonprofit organizations as well as chair and/or a member of several nonprofit boards makes him uniquely qualified to write such a book.

Developing Dynamic Boards provides a clear, practical and no nonsense approach to building an organization’s board of directors. As a reader you will quickly discover that this book is quite different from the traditional and time-honored approaches. In addition to a delineation of the role, functions and relationships of boards in a lucid and concise manner, you will be pleased to find tested tools and techniques for developing your board. Put simply, this book is designed to be used, not simply read.

Does your organization fully understand how to handle:

• Role, Functions and Responsibilities of the Board of Directors

• Volunteer-Staff Relationships

• Retiring and Recruiting Board Members

• Conducting Productive and Satisfying Meetings
