A Short, Snappy Governance BookI’ve been on several not-for-profit committees and boards. Each time I noticed that there was no slim, no nonsense book introducing me to governance in the not-for-profit arena. There seemed to be no manual on what to expect, or indeed what is expected of you when you put your hand up to be on a board. Sure there are courses, but in the beginning, a few words you can read at your leisure, when and where you choose, is all you need.So i've writing a short, snappy governance book.Interested? Your might like to check out the governance books' website: https://www.effectivegovernance.nzNot yet a connection?If you are interested in organisational oversight (viz committees and boards) connect with me, let me know you are interested in progress and I'll keep you posted.
