Doing Good Better

I bought this in tandem with Robert's Rules and this is so easy to read and makes sense. It should be given to every new board member. Board members need to know their job description and this book spells it out in plain english.

This short book is a necessary resource for any new board member. I read it on first going on my local Habitat for Humanity board, and have recommended it to every nonprofit board member I know. To a one, they come back and thank me for the recommendation. "Doing Good Better!" covers all of the essential information one needs to perform the nonprofit board member fiduciary responsibilities and obligations. And it does so succinctly and understandably. It is also written with an uplifting and positive tone -- it makes you feel good about what you're doing as a nonprofit supporter. I regularly refer back to this book both for support and encouragement, and to refresh my knowledge of my duties as a board member.
