Reading: Strategic Planning for NonProfit Boards. In “The Board Member's Guide to Strategic Planning: A Practical Approach to Strengthening NonProfit Organizations” (1997), Fisher Howe provides a short, practical guide to strategic planning for members of the board of a nonprofit organization.

In this book, he describes his recommended process and provides examples from boards on which he has served. [Unintended Consequences]
