Acknowledging that good governance is more than just a matter of following predetermined rules, Robinson (former director of education, National Center for Nonprofit Boards) offers advice and encouragement to nonprofit boards ready to improve the quality of their work. Taking into account both the diversity and the complexity of the nonprofit sector, she urges the development of boards that tailor their work to the needs of the particular organization. Role definition, responsibilities, working culture, structure, and leadership are all addressed. The relationship of the board to the executive director is emphasized. Annotation c.
