Excellent resource
James Ruell Clearly has a ton of experience and has written a fantastic book. The narrator Robert Grindley does an excellent job as well.
I was recently appointed to a board position for a local charity in my home-town. I am on the hunt for as much information as i can get on how to be an effective member of the board.
This book does that and more.....There is tons of information in this book that will help anyone who listens. However, for me the section on fundraising and governance was excactly what I needed to understand how i can best use my role as a board member.
Thank you for writing this book. I highly recommend it
