Serving as a Board Member

by John Pellowe

Featuring excerpts from the works of nine highly respected authors, Serving as a Board Member is a great orientation tool for new board members and an excellent refresher for directors with more experience. The book adds new topics and insights to the popular Serving as a Board Member DVD, released in 2011.

Serving on a board should be a rich, satisfying experience, but many times it is not. As we talk with leaders of churches and Christian agencies, we hear a lot of frustration about the effectiveness of boards.

People want to know how to be good directors and what their essential responsibilities are. They want to know how to participate well-how to have vigorous discussion and debate and still keep board relationships healthy. Directors want to understand the danger spots as well as best practices.

Serving as a Board Member will help directors shorten the learning curve and improve their governance skills. It is a great board orientation tool for new board members and an excellent refresher for directors with more experience.

A concise and Jesus-centric guide to serving in a church or charity board role, specifically for Canadians. Very helpful.
