Good Governance for Nonprofits

Many nonprofits are reluctant to develop a policies manual, but the lack of responsible policies and governance can end up costing an organization in the long run--both in reputation and resources.With this succinct but thorough guide, even small nonprofits can develop a standard policies manual to ensure a responsible board. The authors offer a clear process for creating a policies manual to help boards apply proven standards of governance or "attributes of excellence," even with limited resources.

Frederic L. Laughlin (Sandy Springs, MD), a former partner of PriceWaterhouseCoopers, now works extensively as a consultant with The Andringa Group, specializing in guidance for nonprofits Robert C. Andringa, PH.D. (Anthem, AZ) is head of the Andringa Group, consulting to boards and CEOs of international, national, and regional organizations. He is the author of three previous books, including Nonprofit Board Answer Book.
