Course Description

Course Description

Nonprofits have a wide range of missions — including everything from providing shelter to the homeless to advocating for the interests of members. But all nonprofits have one thing in common: a board of directors or trustees.

Board members are the fiduciaries who steer the organization towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and financial management policies, as well as by making sure the nonprofit has adequate resources to advance its mission.

Every non-profit wants to have a five-star board member.

What makes a good five star board member?

While there is a myriad of books written about the topic, it comes down to the following five simple criteria covered in this CPE E-Book on Building a Five-star Board:

  • Board members should believe in the mission of the organization.
  • They should understand the difference between governance and management.
  • They should know their roles and responsibilities.
  • They should be willing to support the organization with their time, talent, and treasure.
  • They should be eager to support the organization's fundraising efforts.

This E-Book for CPAs talks about the importance of board giving and how to help them bring their time, talent, and treasure to help your organization grow. It dispels the myth of Give, Get, or Get Off and teaches you a new way to think about your board members' contributions to your organization.

Learning Objectives

  • To describe how to find board members who enthusiastically support your mission, vision, and values.
  • To evaluate how to get them to understand the difference between governance and management.
  • To analyze how to help them understand their roles and responsibilities.
