Making an Impact as a Not-for-Profit Board Chair

This practical publication is designed to help volunteer Board Chairs who serve organizations with paid staff to properly prepare for this critical role and is an essential resource for association staff in assisting with the orientation of board leaders.

Excerpt: ”Everyone has attended poorly chaired meetings, and yes, chairing meetings is the Chair’s job. But it’s not the only part, and some might suggest it isn’t the most important aspect either. This publication explores various aspects of the Chair’s job, but at the outset we need to set the stage for what is to follow. The Chair’s job is to manage the board, not manage the Chief Staff Officer or the organization itself. The job of board Chair is an important one. Done well it can have a considerable impact on the organization as a whole: its effectiveness, efficiency, and public image. That’s the opportunity before every board Chair, and one this publication hopes to help you attain.”
