Board Members focuses on the governing function associated with a
subcategory of non-profit organizations that share five defining
characteristics: * Public-serving missions * Nongovernmental
ownership and control * Multiplicity of relationships with
governmental agencies and programs * Noncommercial operations *
Incorporation, i.e. corporate entity status In the United States,
there are over 500,000 non-profit entities with these five
characteristics. This work describes them as "nongovernmental
public-serving (NPS) organizations." In NPS organizations, ultimate
authority over the governing function is vested in a board of
directors. Each of the following seven sets of governing roles and
responsibilities of members of the board of directors are explained
in separate chapters: * Trusteeship * Managing the managers *
Facilitating organizational learning * Performing catalytic
behaviors * Equipping organizations for work * Establishing and
maintaining inter-organizational links * Evaluating organizational
performance Dr. Kirk argues that because the well-being of millions
of people throughout the U.S. is directly affected by what NPS
organizations do or fail to do, their boards must govern these
organizations effectively and responsibly. Dr. Kirk provides
practical formulas for strategic governance, performance indicators
and assessment, and a thorough analysis of these organizations'
history and current state.
