Hold in trust the organizations you serve…
Much more than a guide, this groundbreaking book invites nonprofit boards to renew their commitment to improving the social sector through caring and competent leadership.
"This is not an ordinary book on board development. Katherine Tyler Scott focuses her work on concepts of 'trust' in trusteeship, exploring the meaning of both 'being held in trust' and 'holding in trust.' This book will aid organizations in probing beneath the surface of board work to build leadership based on the convergence of personal and organizational values." - Eugene R. Tempel, Executive Director, IU Center on Philanthropy
Creating Caring & Capable Boards: Reclaiming the Passion for Active Trusteeship offers a new vision of trustee leadership that goes far beyond administrative success and fiscal responsibility to embody caring, effective governance. Based on more than 10 years of practical experience, this book presents a new and proven model of board leadership, one that can be used to educate boards and staff in the philosophy of service.
An invaluable resource for nonprofit boards and executives!

Palmer, Author, Educator, and Speaker
