Why read it?
1 author picked The Little Book of Boards as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Little Book of Boards provides a concise and easy-to-read overview of what are the responsibilities of a board member.

Some books were too detailed but this one provided enough context for someone new to a board position.
From Melisa's list on someone new to a nonprofit board.
