The board of a non-profit has a complex job. It is accountable to the membership to meet the strategic goals, while at the same time governing the organization and monitoring management.
Governing Policies are the rule book for the board.
Non-profit board members rarely come to the position with a wealth of governance knowledge. Couple that with board members being employed in jobs not connected to the non-profit, and there will be little time to research, write, implement, and evaluate the policies needed to govern.
Rather than create a mixed bag collection of policies, a non-profit board can use a four-quadrant governing policies framework, to stay organized and to easily update policies as the non-profit grows or hires a paid staff team.
