Becoming a board member often involves much more than anticipated. Board members are responsible not only for a wide range of duties but are ultimately liable for all actions of the charity. This handbook informs board members of their powers, duties and responsibilities, and communicates in a clear straightforward manner, the underlying principles of common law which apply in both the United States and Canada.

Written by Dick L. Kranendonk, Ed. D., this practical book covers the charitable gift, organizing as a charity, boards and their members, powers of the board and conducting meetings, duties of board members, hiring the chief executive officer, hiring policies for other staff and developing a conflict of interest policy.

Complete with questions for consideration which follow each chapter, a charity evaluation, index and appendix, 195 pages. Technical language has been avoided wherever possible.
