Weaving Through the Community:
Becoming a Responsive Board

By Lindsay Ann Cooke
 

Providing background to the non-profit sector and examining ways that a board can gain an in-depth understanding of the community it chooses to serve, Weaving Through the Community makes the case that non-profit boards are an important component of a healthy society where citizens participate in a meaningful way. The book examines the motives of people who choose to volunteer as board members and suggests that though there may be many reasons, some altruistic and some self-serving, board members who try to understand the concept of the "Servant Leader" will be the most successful in governing their organization. The duties that a board must address to ensure good governance are provided along with additional ideas on how to become an "inspired" board. A must for any board member who wishes to challenge assumptions, explore new ideas and become a catalyst of change. © 2001, 75 pp., softcover
