Resumen del Editor

Board? Or bored? Sometimes nonprofit boards of directors and staff leaders wonder. One of the biggest challenges (and opportunities) for nonprofits is how to mobilize and sustain an effective board of directors. Kay Sprinkel Grace knows boards, and how it is done. She has worked with hundreds of nonprofit organizations and thousands of board members and understands what makes the best ones thrive.

In The Ultimate Board Members Audible Book, Kay shares her insights, observations and conclusions in her own words and in her own voice. The most enviable boards of directors – those that govern well AND accept the responsibility for raising money – share one thing in common: they’ve absorbed the ideas and practices Kay summarizes in her best-selling The Ultimate Board Member’s Book. For these board members, there’s zero guesswork about their roles and responsibilities. It’s all very clear. Short chapters comfort or challenge the listener, creating a satisfying experience that clarifies exactly what’s expected of each board member.

First published by Emerson & Church and selling more than 40,000 copies, and now published in print and as an ebook by Hilborn Civil Sector Press, Ultimate commands a leading role among members of nonprofit boards of directors seeking wisdom as well as solutions. This Audible version offers board members easy access to bite size ideas in brief chapters that include the full range of board member concerns and "must know" topics that invite reflection and further discussion including topics ranging from how to fix “bored” meetings to the board of director’s role in mission, from conflict of interest to dealing with conflict, from the board's role in fundraising to working effectively with the CEO and staff, from embracing the potential of board service to knowing when it is time to step down. And many more.
