Date Published: 01/10/2007
Author: LISC
Discover the Entrepreneurial Board model that focuses the board's role and works like a laser on critical priorities. The results? High performing, flexible and sustainable boards.
Learn about how governance structure and process can be cutting edge, yet not too far out there – a reasonable transition, perhaps, from current practice! This model draws on the work of University of Missouri at Kansas City's Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership, a nationally recognized nonprofit governance thought leader.
