Discussion 2 - Assessing governance of not-for-profit organizations
Topic to be discussed from Monday April 27 to May 29, 2009
Introduction to topic:
Weaknesses in governance emerge as a factor that affects the organization's work. This area is quite sensitive as governors are often volunteers most of whom spend relatively little time on matters pertaining to the not-for-profit. Yet some governors spend too much time and micromanage the affairs of the organization.
Topic Question:
As an evaluator, board member, donor or NFP leader, how should one assess the governance of a not-for-profit organization?
We would like to invite your comments on this question. Please read the Instructions beside before posting your ideas and questions.
