BoardSource offers a new, downloadable policy sampler

It seems like every year nonprofit boards are called on to adopt a new written policy of some kind – there are policies on investments, whistle blowers, conflicts of interest, document retention and disposal, confidentiality, etc., etc. – even policies on policies.

BoardSource is the nation’s leading source of practical information, tools, best practices, training and leadership development for nonprofit board members. It has just released an updated, second edition of  “The Nonprofit Policy Sampler” designed to help boards and staff leaders advance their organizations and meet ever-increasing policy demands.

The sampler includes 241 sample policies, job descriptions, committee charters, codes of ethics, board member agreements, mission and vision statements, etc., in 48 different topic areas. Each topic includes multiple sample documents, so your organization can select an appropriate version to adapt, revise and enact. All are professionally and legally reviewed.

BoardSource members can buy the book with its accompanying CD-ROM for $60; it’s $80 for non-members. Or, you can download it immediately for $6 (members) or $8 (non-members). With attorneys costing $100 per hour and up, this is a real deal.
