Governance: Maureen Cleary- Board Policies for Australian Nonprofit Boards

Does your board have difficulties in knowing where their responsibilities start and stop? Are you clear about your board policies and processes?

Each nonprofit board is ultimately responsible for the life of the organisation which they serve. Good board policies contribute to good governance and ensure that the board's responsibilities are given proper consideration in a timely manner. Through explicit policies of the board its CEO knows the expectations of the board and his/her reporting is both timely and appropriate.

This book, written by Maureen Cleary, contains more than 50 actual board policies that you can customise to the policy needs of your organisation. Customising these policies with your full board can be an effective development activity while clarifying mutual expectations and responsibilities.
