Howe Provides Concise, Focused Counsel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Howe's concise (110 pages) work is valuable for the busy executive serving on a non-profit board. It is short enough to be read in one sitting, and provides concrete, practical guidance. His background and experience is shared with the reader in short, clear statements of how other nonprofits have implemented his suggestions.Howe allows for flexibility in implementation, writing both for the large organization with a large endowment and staff, and the small group with pinched resources. His book is valuable to prepare for a strategic planning exercise or to introduce a board to the process as part of its consideration whether or not to undertake it.
Helpful development Tool for New Board Members
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
The role of a new board member is not always clear. In fact, it can be darn right dark. This book helps a board and it's individual members, to understand it's role from a strategic planning standpoint. It provides a clear process for not only the most experienced board to reaffirm but for the less mature boards to follow.
