Dear Reader, The Society is pleased to issue this updated edition of our Governance for Nonprofits monograph. As someone who has been fortunate enough to serve on the boards of directors of a pair of nonprofits, I can personally attest to the usefulness of this wonderful guide. I would like to thank our editorial committee on this monograph: Cherie Sorokin and Walt Gangl headed up this effort, and Iris Aberbach, Karl Barnickol, Don Hager and Bob Seaman all made substantial contributions to it. This monograph is not a legal treatise. Not all applicable laws are referenced and cited, and any that have been cited may not apply to your organization. This manual is not attempting to set forth a set of perfect practices for nonprofit governance. It does, however, reflect the general practices used by the members of the authoring committee through their many years of nonprofit service. The committee hopes that this monograph will be a "living" document, open to new ideas that readers may wish to share. Please direct any comments to me at the Society’s National Office (contact information below). Darla Stuckey |
