This collection combines two important endeavors. First, in various pieces evidence about the behavior and performance of non-profit boards is reviewed and important additional evidence is presented. Noting the disparity between reality and widely-accepted beliefs is a long and necessary role for empirical researchers. The second endeavor in this collection is to present useful and realistic ideas and techniques for improving board functioning and board-staff relations. Nearly all the pieces have implicit or explicit applications.
