There are no volunteers on boards, only directors.
Being a director of any organisation is a very serious task and should not be taken on lightly. Whether on a for profit
or non-profit board, the directors’ roles in governance and leadership are the same.
​
If you have taken on a non-profit board role as either Chair or non executive director then I take my hat off to
you for giving back to the community and fulfilling this most important role.
Whether you are a new Chair or have been one for some time, thinking deeply about your role, the organisation and its purpose should never stop.
This book is a compilation of the thought-provoking inquiry I go through around the five core areas of board focus and responsibility.
I hope you enjoy this book and that it gives you insights to help make your journey more enjoyable and impactful.
