If you have ever served on a non-profit board of directors or would like to do so, this book is for you. The author takes you through the recruitment and board development process, orientation, training, hiring, stewardship and evaluation of the Executive Director, termination (when necessary), setting policy, strategic planning, and self-evaluation as well as dealing with the difficult board member. Knowing when to step down is equally important and is also addressed here. Do yourself and your colleagues a favor and don't put it down until you've finished.

A slice of the lives of four fabulous women who love their work, their men and their wine. Their adventures span the North American continent from Toronto to California and the Caribbean. Their lives are struck with comedy and tragedy...but mostly comedy. Come take a trip with The Corksuckers!
