According to Nolo, non-profit board members play an essential role in the success of the organization and hold positions of great responsibility. While some board members regard their position as an honorary one, legally they have responsibilities for governance and fiscal oversight of an organization that receives tax-favored status by the U.S. government. While the board is responsible for governance, the staff is responsible for day-to-day operations.
Board Member Skills
According to Management Help, non-profits are mandated by the IRS to serve the public interest. This is the condition under which they receive tax-favored status. Board members must possess the skills to comprehend the organization’s mission and the leadership skills to keep the organization focused on that mission. Judgment skills are required with each new proposed activity, since board members must determine if the activity furthers the mission as stated in the bylaws, or is a diversion from that mission.
