Every nonprofit is encouraged to function transparently. The more information you share, the easier it is for the public to get to know you and determine whether you are worthy of support. However, it is important to know where the line lies between the public’s need to know and internal confidential information.
Researchers Thomas Holland, Barbara Taylor, and Richard Chait worked for several years to determine why some nonprofit boards excel and others do not. They concluded that there are six characteristics that successful boards have in common. Developing these characteristics in a board will help it govern more and manage less.
