For the last ten years I've worked with close to 300 non-profit organizations. Much of this work has involved the relationship between the board of directors and the staff. Not many of these relationships are satisfactory--on either side.
What gives?
Why is serving on a non-profit board so hard?
Is it because we just aren't doing it right? Or because it's inherently a difficult thing?
We'll be looking into this issue from a variety of perspectives in the coming weeks.
Your ideas and comments would help.
Onward.
