Nonprofit Board Governance: Building A Board That Actually Works (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Too many nonprofit boards exist in name only-meeting irregularly, deferring blindly to founders or executives, and reacting to crises instead of preventing them. The result is predictable: mission drift, governance failures, regulatory exposure, and collapsed public trust.

Nonprofit Board Governance: Building a Board That Actually Works is a practical, authoritative guide for nonprofit board members, founders, executive directors, and governance professionals who want boards that do more than comply on paper.

Grounded in the Kenyan legal and regulatory context-including NGOs, Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs), trusts, and companies limited by guarantee-this book goes beyond theory to explain how governance actually works in practice. It demystifies fiduciary duties, board-management boundaries, financial oversight, ethics, succession planning, and governance implementation, using real-world reasoning rather than recycled checklists.

Unlike generic governance toolkits, this book addresses the realities nonprofit boards face: founder dominance, weak accountability, political influence, donor pressure, and limited governance capacity. It shows how strong boards are intentionally designed, properly structured, continuously evaluated, and renewed over time.

Whether you are:

• a board member seeking clarity on your legal and ethical responsibilities,
• a founder transitioning from control to institutional sustainability,
• an executive director navigating oversight and accountability, or
• a governance professional advising nonprofits,

this book provides a clear, disciplined framework for building boards that protect mission, manage risk, and earn public trust.

This is not a handbook for symbolic governance. It is a guide for boards that actually work.
