Review :
"The difference between your success and failure as a trustee and perhaps that of the organization you care for could rest within the pages of this easy-to-read book." Bruce and Jolene McCaw, McCaw Family Foundation "Millions of people serve on our non-profit boards. Yet almost none of these people have any real guidance on how to perform this vital role. This book provides more useful wisdom and insight with less jargon and fluff than any other of its kind." Dr. Charles MacCormack, President, Save the Children "Inside the Non-profit Boardroom is a must addition for the new and veteran social sector trustee's philanthropic toolkit." Charles W. Collier, Senior Philanthropic Adviser, Harvard University "Hurrah! At last a clear, accessible layperson's guide to non-profit board membership. It's a gem." Marjorie J. Sharp, Past President, Toronto Community Foundation "This dream of a book tells it 'like it is.' I could have used it years ago; I welcome it now." Susan Cosgriff Kirk, Board of Regents, University of Colorado
