A Bestseller Becomes Even More Pertinent First published in 2005, this
collection of CompassPoint online newsletter articles became instantly
popular with busy board members of nonprofits. Now updated with new
essays that are short enough to read over a cup of coffee, readers will
find essential insights on board responsibilities, executive directors,
fundraising, finance, and more. New topics include: eleven ways to get a
new executive director off to a good start, a board member's guide to
nonprofit insurance, how to take a public stand, working boards versus
governing boards, the right way to resign from the board, the best way
to raise money, meaningful board-staff acts of appreciation, and what
boards need to know about copyrights.
