Through a series of cases, she explains the ten most important lessons she has learned as a board member and from her beloved mentor, Sister Gwendolyn ― from the failure of a board to define its purpose to resolving conflicts among its members. The book was inspired by many frustrated volunteers who want to contribute their time and energy to a cause they believe in but find the politics and dysfunction of boards more than they can handle. If you've ever asked, \"What did I get myself into? Or \"Are we having fun yet?\" then you need to read this Little Handbook for Volunteers. Dr. Freund includes many \"how to\" suggestions and problem-solving strategies for volunteer boards in dire need of hearing her important message: Run your volunteer boards the right way or risk losing the gifts they bring. Anyone considering volunteering for a board or currently serving on one will benefit from Dr. Freund's experience, sense of humor, and advice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46497604599959,"sku":"9781496941541","price":1271.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781496941541.webp?v=1769189823","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-little-handbook-for-volunteers-lessons-i-learned-from-sister-gwendolyn-9781496941541","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
