Practical guidance and training material for organisations on development topics

Some people serve on a board for many years before they fully understand what being a board member is about. This book aims to help current board members and those managing Christian development organisations to consider their different roles and how they can work together to fulfil the organisation’s mission.

It looks at key governance principles and issues so that organisations can improve their governance structure or set up a governing body if they do not already have one. There is guidance about recruiting and welcoming new board members so that they can fully understand their role before they start their service.
