• Members should show up for meetings.
• Board members should trust the work of the staff.
• Members should contribute to organizational funding.
• It is important to have a thoughtful and deliberate board nomination and recruitment process.
• An effective nonprofit board should focus on governing the corporation, not on managing it.
