Board members are generally recruited for their leadership expertise, business acumen, and/or social and ecclesial networks.

Watch as Dr. Rebekah Basinger, project director of the In Trust Center’s Wise Stewards Initiative, makes a case for strategic questions and interrogation skills as necessary characteristics of boards that have been formed and informed for wise stewardship.
