A clear, cooperative way to govern and manage your not-for-profit organization by building an effective partnership between your volunteer board and staff. The purpose of the book is to describe a policy-based model of governance and management that can be readily adopted within not-for-profit organizations (NPOs). It comes complete with examples and templates of documents used in NPOs following the Complementary Model of Board Governance. The book will provide much needed assistance to volunteers and staff of small, mid-sized and large NPOs who are trying to cope in an environment of contracting resources and expanding demands for services.
