Editorial Reviews Review "A very useful, no-nonsense primer for folks who serve on nonprofit boards. I particularly liked the unequivocal way in which the obligations of the board members are spelled out. All too often these duties have been treated as second-class commitments, subject to being set aside in favor of most any personal distraction that comes along." -- William H. Gates, Sr.-Director, William H. Gates Foundation "The difference between your success and failure as a trustee and perhaps the organization you care for could rest within the pages of this easy-to-read book." -- Bruce and Jolene McCaw-McCaw Foundation Inside the Nonprofit Boardroom is the most leveraged 30 minutes a new or experienced trustee will infest. This is must reading for anyone considering a nonprofit board opportunity. It should be mandatory reading once each year by all board trustees. -- Scott and Laurie Oki, Oki Foundation The difference between your success and failure as a trustee and perhaps the organization you are for could rest within the pages of this easy to read book. -- Bruce and Jolene McCaw, McCaw Foundation
