Boards Must Focus on More Than Just Compliance.The result of the ongoing debate over nonprofit accountability has led to the perception among many boards of directors that compliance is their only responsibility, according to a new report by BoardSource.The Washington D.C.-based organization, which focuses on increasing the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations by strengthening their boards of directors, believes that many boards are under-performing and not providing the kind of leadership that nonprofits need to be successful. To help move the debate beyond compliance, BoardSource has released The Source: Twelve Principles of Governance That Power Exceptional Boards, a comprehensive reference that highlights the characteristics of outstanding nonprofit boards.BoardSource developed The Source in conjunction with a panel of governance experts and leading thinkers in nonprofit and corporate sectors, from such organizations as the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the National Association of Corporate Directors, Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, the YMCA of the USA, Morgan Lewis and Bockius and the Meyer Foundation.The reference was reviewed and enhanced by a blue-ribbon panel of more than 27 distinguished leaders from across the nonprofit and corporate sectors.A free overview of the 12 principles is available online at the BoardSource website (www.boardsource.org). To order a copy of the complete reference, call 800-883-8262.- November 30th, 2005-Marriott Hotel, Boston,MA.Association of Fundraising Professionals Massachusetts Chapter Conference."Two Heads Are Better Than One: Building an Integrated Collaborative Communications Plan".
