Like many organizations, your board is likely full of educated, insightful folks who are brimming with passion and dedication for the work you do. Yet even the most functional of boards is not immune to miscommunication, conflict or other snafus.

"Principles of Good Governance" is a guide to the potential governance pitfalls that might occur−and how to avoid them.
