A primer on board responsibilities
Are you new to a not-for-profit (NFP) board? Board service is a wonderful way to get involved in an important cause, but did you know that it is a role that comes with a great deal of responsibility? As part of the organization’s governing body, you will be called on to contribute your expertise, help establish strategic objectives, and provide guidance to help your organization achieve its mission. Along with this responsibility come legal and ethical obligations to the entity. An NFP’s board has liability for the organization; and therefore, it is the final authority.
