About the Book

Andy Robinson is one of America's preeminent authorities on boards, having spent two decades steering, advising, and coaxing hundreds of organizations of all stripes and sizes.

He has guided these boards in virtually every facet of governance, including fundraising, board development, financial oversight, recruitment, strategic planning, and marketing.

He has distilled this wealth of experience into a focused book that will help any board govern up to its potential. What Every Board Member Needs to Know, Do, and Avoid takes just an hour to read. But in that brief span of time, your board members will develop a sure-handed grip and a workable understanding of each of their important responsibilities.

First published by Emerson & Church this revised edition reflects a change of publisher to Civil Sector Press.
