Nonprofit Board Wrinkles: The Questions I'm Most Often Asked

I am often asked for solutions to a host of nonprofit board problems: "How do I fix this? How do I fix that?" Here are five questions that come up the most: 1. What's the single most important trait I should look for in prospective board members? 2. How do I get board members to contribute financially? 3. How can I get board members to make personal visits? How do I deal with poor attendance at meetings? 5. How do I get board members to speak up?
