Exceptional Board Practices: The Source in Action, presents 12 governance principles designed to help board members successfully oversee their organizations. For example, the principles emphasize the need for the board to promote strong ethical values in the organization and to recruit a diverse group of members. Each of the 12 principles is discussed at length by nonprofit and foundation leaders, who provide real-life examples, advice on putting the principles into effect, and questions that can help leaders assess their own boards of directors.
