Rezensionen

Board Members provides wise guidance and theory-linked knowledge on the role of boards of directors of non-governmental public-serving organizations. W. Astor Kirk writes from a deep familiarity with both the nonprofit and governmental sectors. -- Jon Van Til, Professor of Urban Studies, Rutgers University at Camden; Former president, Assoc. for Research on Nonprofit Organizations & As a University President, former trustee of a private university, and a former board chair of a very active community development corporation. I am very familiar with the literature on non-profits. However, Dr. Kirk takes the topic to another level as he addresses the many differences among "not for profit" boards. His focus on nongovernmental public-serving (NPS) organizations is really enlightening. -- James E. Lyons, Sr., President, California State University
