The ethical, financial, legal, and fiduciary challenges facing board directors in both the for-profit and nonprofit arenas have increased dramatically in recent years. The resolve of board members to really make a difference and not be wasting precious time and resources is also perhaps higher than ever.

The complete series includes these four titles:
