The Effective Nonprofit Board: Responsibilities & Recruitment, by Ann W. Lehman and Robert M. Zimmerman, is intended to educate board members of non-profit organizations about their most important duties. Ms. Lehman and Mr. Zimmerman, partners at a San Francisco consulting firm that bears their names, say that too often they hear board members complain that they were never sure of their obligations, or express surprise when asked to contribute financially. The authors explain how board members should meet five responsibilities: planning and implementing policies, insuring good management, fund raising, complying with the law, and governing.
