practical tips and perspectives to help you manage this considerable investment
of time and build a partnership with the board that is based on support, trust,
honesty, forthrightness, respect, and understanding. Within its pages, you'll
learn how to work for, work with, and work the board. And while it is
time-consuming work, the rewards - the success of both you and your
organization - are worth the effort.
