and then are not fully engaged. Why do nonprofits so broadly fail to use their boards wisely? And how might they do better? We will look at four interrelated areas: membership (including recruitment, development, self-assessment), process (including structure,
meetings), capacity, and fiduciary issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
