How to make a board handbook

Does your board have a handbook – either online or on paper? If you don’t, you may be missing out on an important resource to help your board function at the top of its game.  

 

In Trust’s new Guide to Developing Your Board Handbook may be just what you need. It’s a clear checklist of everything the board needs to have at hand — mission statement, calendar, fact sheet, contact information, minutes, and much more. Plus, it contains suggested optional items — like a map of campus, the president’s resume, the school hymn — that can transform a generic notebook into something that reflects your school’s unique identity.

 

The In Trust Guide to Developing Your Board Handbook is available online here.
