Within its pages, you'll learn how to work for, work with, and work the board. And while it is time-consuming work, the rewards - the success of both you and your organization - are worth the effort.

What is governance? What is the role of the board? What is expected of board members? And how does an effective board operate? Board Fundamentals answers these questions and more. The book is for new board members in need of an introduction to the principles of nonprofit governance experienced board members in need of a refresher and new ideas chief executives -- as well as senior staff who interact with the board -- who want to better understand their and the board's roles and responsibilities ...and is the perfect vehicle for opening a conversation between the board and the chief executive about their respective roles in organizational governance. Within its pages, you will find a description of the nonprofit sector, a discussion of the concept of governance (something that seems murky to many people new to this type of service), an in-depth look at the key governance roles and responsibilities of the board and the individuals involved in organizational governance, and suggestions on how the board can most effectively carry out its responsibilities. At the end of each chapter, there is a set of questions designed to engage your board in an exploration of its practices. Boards that raise these questions in their board meetings are sometimes surprised by the answers and should use the opportunity to discuss how they can improve their governance.


[book3.jpg]  Glushko, Robert J. ed.  The Discipline of Organizing.  Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2013.  025 Disci   ISBN: 978-0262518505

Organizing is such a common activity that we often do it without thinking much about it. In our daily lives we organize physical things--books on shelves, cutlery in kitchen drawers--and digital things--Web pages, MP3 files, scientific datasets. Millions of people create and browse Web sites, blog, tag, tweet, and upload and download content of all media types without thinking "I'm organizing now" or "I'm retrieving now."

This book offers a framework for the theory and practice of organizing that integrates information organization (IO) and information retrieval (IR), bridging the disciplinary chasms between Library and Information Science and Computer Science, each of which views and teaches IO and IR as separate topics and in substantially different ways. It introduces the unifying concept of an Organizing System--an intentionally arranged collection of resources and the interactions they support--and then explains the key concepts and challenges in the design and deployment of Organizing Systems in many domains, including libraries, museums, business information systems, personal information management, and social computing. Intended for classroom use or as a professional reference, the book covers the activities common to all organizing systems: identifying resources to be organized; organizing resources by describing and classifying them; designing resource-based interactions; and maintaining resources and organization over time. The book is extensively annotated with disciplinary-specific notes to ground it with relevant concepts and references of library science, computing, cognitive science, law, and business.
