Thanks so much for the comment, Bonnie. I've had readers also tell me that the book is also useful to anyone serving on committees as many of the same principles apply. So glad you found the book useful. Happy long weekend!

Whether you are an upcoming board member, a seasoned veteran, or someone who works with boards - this book is for you. Doreen has expertly gathered all the information one needs to familiarize oneself with the processes involved with board participation. I highly recommend this read to anyone who has anything to do with a board.
