Board Resources

A Board Handbook is your key to orchestrating successful governance and propelling your organization's mission forward!

​

Why does our board need a handbook? 

A board member handbook is a resource for board members to understand their roles and responsibilities, the organization's policies and procedures, and the expectations for their conduct as a board member. Here are some ways to use the board member handbook:

Orientation: The handbook can be used during the board member orientation process to provide an overview of the organization, its mission, and the expectations for board members.

Reference: Board members can use the handbook as a reference to understand their roles and responsibilities, the organization's policies and procedures, and the expectations for their conduct.

Training: The handbook can be used as a training tool to help board members understand best practices in governance, fiduciary responsibilities, and other areas related to their roles as board members.

Communication: The handbook can serve as a tool for communicating with board members about changes in policies or procedures, updates on the organization's operations, or other important information.

Accountability: The handbook can be used as a tool for holding board members accountable for their actions and ensuring that they are meeting the expectations set forth in the handbook.
