Developing Effective Boards, Councils and Commissions

Millions of Americans serve on boards of voluntary agencies or organizations. They work millions of hours without pay and govern the expenditure of billions of dollars annually. Directly or indirectly, they influence the welfare and future of millions of other Americans. Nearly all community-focused programs require some form of citizen participation; and thousands of corporations, public as well as private, profit as well as nonprofit, utilize citizen boards either for policy making or program implementation.
