Description

Nonprofit Governance and Management 3rd Edition Jeannie Carmedelle Frey ISBN 9781616329754

Periodic Review of Nonprofit Governance

In the wake of highly publicized cases of fiscal mismanagement at prominent nonprofit organizations, board members and executive leadership are facing heightened scrutiny—not only from the Internal Revenue Service, but also from members, stakeholders, and donors. This indispensable guide offers a clear and practical overview of nonprofit governance fundamentals, including board structure, roles, and operations, along with focused guidance on critical areas such as strategic planning, financial oversight, fundraising, executive leadership supervision, human resources management, risk management, and crisis response.

Each chapter examines key governance topics and features a dedicated Practical Advice section that translates principles into actionable guidance. These sections—often presented in bullet points or checklists—are designed to help boards and management apply best practices, strengthen oversight, and clearly understand governance responsibilities.

While an essential resource for all nonprofit board members, this book is especially valuable for executive directors and board chairs. It clearly defines the distinct responsibilities of each role and emphasizes the importance of collaboration, mutual respect, trust, and shared accountability in advancing the organization’s mission.
