Through their admirable energy, dedication, and leadership,
religious board members sustain our world's most invaluable
organizations. This in-depth handbook offers essential insights
from respected veterans of religious and nonprofit work on
governing an organization with a religious mission. Drawing on
years of research, consulting, and hands-on religious nonprofit
work, the authors show how board members can clearly define their
roles and mission, transform hierarchical structures into models of
collaborative leadership, and organize for greater impact.
From congregations and seminaries to soup kitchens, hospital chains, and social service agencies, Building Effective Boards for Religious Organizations examines both the nature and nurture of religious boards. Interfaith in scope and brimming with real-life examples, it skillfully demonstrates how a religious board can escape common problems, and how understanding the full depth of the organization's mission can help it best fulfill its intended purpose.
