The board will approach its task with a style which emphasizes outward vision rather than an internal preoccupation, encouragement of diversity in viewpoints, strategic leadership more than administrative detail, clear distinction of board and staff roles, future rather than past or present, and proactivity rather than reactivity.

JOB DESCRIPTION
The job of the board is to make certain contributions which lead the organization toward the desired performance and assure that it occurs. The board's specific contributions are unique to its trusteeship role and necessary for proper governance and management.

Consequently, the "products" or job contributions of the board shall be:
  • The link between the organization and its "ownership."
  • The assurance of performance of the Executive Director
  • Written governing policies which, at the broadest levels, address:
    1. Ends - Organizational products, impacts, benefits, outcomes (what good for which needs at what cost)
    2. Executive Limitations - Constraints on executive authority which establish the prudence and ethics boundaries within which lies the acceptable arena of executive activity, decisions and organizational circumstances
    3. Governance Process - Specification of how the board conceives, carries out and monitors its own task
    4. Board-Executive Director Relationship - How power is delegated and its proper use monitored
