Included in the book are outlines of the role required of the board chair, executive director and regular board member. Also included are lists of skills that help groups on the one hand and styles that impede their effective performance on the other.Bradner, Jeanne H. is the author of 'Board Member's Guide A Beneficial Bestiary' with ISBN 9780963439543 and ISBN 0963439545.
