In this brief but information-packed book, Howe s umm ar ize s t he key legal technicalities that you, as a board member, need to know. He details the seven responsibilities of a nonprofit board member - including how to go about the process of approving a mission, assisting in long-range plan nin g, p art icip atin g i n fundraising, and selecting and evaluating a chief executive. Additionally, Howe dispels the commonly believed notion that running a nonprofit organization is the same as running a business...(This) is a guide you will r efer to a gain and again as a new board member.
