Revised Edition Hardcover, 336 pages
This hands-on, step-by-step guide puts your board to work
in the real world. John Carver introduced the Policy Governance Model, a highly
effective, results-oriented approach to nonprofit board governance.
In Reinventing Your Board, Revised Edition John Carver and Miriam
Carver show how to put the model into motion and take organizations
to new levels of achievement. This book provides the recipe for putting Policy Governance into
practice. With 25 figures, policy samples, forms, and other
practical, "put-the-model-in-motion" materials, this is the
nuts-and-bolts materials that Carvers' followers have been
requesting. The authors illustrate effective board decision making,
show how to craft useful policies, and offer practical advice on
such matters as setting the agenda, monitoring CEO performance,
defining the board role, and more. Step-by-step instructions and
sample policies make this a valuable resource for boards in the
public and nonprofit sectors. This book enriches its definitive exposition with updated
policy samples, a new chapter on the process of policy development,
and additional resources for various types of boards. With creative
insight and commonsense practicality, the book presents a bold new
approach to board job design, board-staff relationships, the chief
executive role, performance monitoring, and virtually every aspect
of the board-management relationship. In their stead, he offers a
board model designed to produce policies that make a difference,
missions that are clearly articulated, standards that are ethical
and prudent, meetings, officers, and committees that work; and
leadership that supports the fulfillment of long-term goals. You can

excellent road map for the implementation of the model, answering
many practical questions and providing numerous examples of
applications in a variety of settings. I strongly recommend it for
