Note: This is the first of two articles on nonprofit boards. These pieces are intended not only for senior management of nonprofits but also for board members and engaged volunteers and advisors.

My thoughts initially were that serving on the Board was a way to go a step beyond straight “giving”, and to actually roll up my sleeves and help the organization grow and thrive. Was that wishful thinking? Well, yes.
