Cardinal Principles of Governance by Arnold Clickstein, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Full of innovative ideas and helpful resources, """"Cardinal Principles of Governance"""" is a valuable exploration of the steps that governing boards need to take to strengthen their nonprofit organizations. Beginning with an introduction to the size of the nonprofit sector in the United States and outlining its economic impact, author Arnold Clickstein provides direction and guidance on developing key strategies for nonprofit organizations. Clickstein briefly explores the evolution of the nonprofit sector, from the days of our Founding Fathers to the current Senate Select Committee on Finance, which is crafting new federal regulations. He points out the sharp distrust of the nonprofit sector that arose after 9/11 and the corporate scandals of the early 2000s. A number of high-profile cases involving nonprofits, including that of the American Red Cross, illustrate the extent of the problem. Clickstein also demonstrates the importance of nonprofits acquiring a sense of historical place and helps boards understand and assume their fiduciary, strategic, ethical, and issue-engaged responsibilities. With more than thirty years of experience in the nonprofit industry as a student, teacher, board member and leader, Clickstein is well qualified to show you how to improve governance and create a shared vision for your nonprofit organization. | Cardinal Principles of Governance by Arnold Clickstein, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
