Summary: "The Board Chair Handbook focuses on helping board chairs carry out their responsibilities for the good of the organization. Whether you are a seasoned board chair wanting to brush up and learn something new, an incoming board chair seeking knowledge and skills, or a person considering the possibility of becoming a board chair, this book is intended to be user-friendly and practical. The guidance will also be useful to chief executives, other management personnel who interact with the board chair (including operations officers, development directors, financial officers, and marketing directors), and consultants who work with nonprofit organizations. This updated third edition offers new material in every chapter with expanded sections on the board chair role and the partnership with the chief executive. A new appendix outlines a leadership development model for using this handbook to create a peer-to-peer learning community of board chairs."--From publisher's website.
