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.
