At my company, Chase Advancement, we have a saying that “No one is born a board member”. Springing out of over 20 years of work with the boards of prolife faith-based organizations comes this collection of articles written on various subjects intended to assist board members to be the guides to their organizations that God has called them to be. Subject matter addressed includes… The importance of owning your bylaws; Dealing with the most common spiritual attacks; Guiding principles of recruiting board members; Discerning the role of the board and the role of the Executive; Why boards should be investors and not hoarders; Basic principles of fundraising every board member should know; Thoughts on dealing with board members with strong personalities; The greatest threat to an organization—interpersonal conflict; Righteously compensating staff; and much more. “BEST TRAINING EVER“ “Craig, I cannot tell you how impressed everyone was by your teaching. I saw excitement from the board which I have never seen since I have been associated with the Center. I am so glad we took your training. One board member actually said she was going to share some of your ideas with the members of another board on which she serves. Best Training ever.” Sally Trent, Executive Director, Hope Pregnancy Care Center, Morehead, KY
