The little book of boards : a board member's handbook for small (and very small) nonprofits / Erik Hanberg.

Summary:

"So many board members--especially of small nonprofits--want to support a nonprofit and readily accept the invitation to join the board. It's only then that they discover they are in over their heads, with no idea of their expectations and responsibilities. The Little Book of Boards is here to throw that drowning board member a rope. Told with a conversational style, this book will lead you through the basics of being on a board, how meetings work, and what's expected between meetings. In addition, at the back of the book are several in-depth resources."--provided by publisher.
