Not-for-profit organizations (NPOs) are diverse and their expectations of directors can vary widely. In most cases, directors are volunteers who serve without compensation. They deserve respect and appreciation and should be encouraged to contribute effectively and with confidence.
This document explores the challenges faced by NPOs in recruiting the right people to serve on their boards, as well as the importance of director education and development and regular assessment of the board and its members. We hope that individual directors, boards, governance committees and CEOs will find it useful in developing effective, knowledgeable boards.
