Summary:
"Everyone is busy. Board members tend to be amongst the busiest of people–choosing to fit community involvement in between family, friends, work, and leisure. All too often we believe that we can’t ask anything more of these gracious, giving individuals. But, when most people tackle a job, they want to do it right. How can you expect your board members to do their jobs right without the proper tools, which in this case is knowledge? You must invest in educating them about your organization and its mission."
