Establishing a board of directors is important for the foundation, growth, and sustainability of a nonprofit organization.

Topic Background
There are more than 1.5 million registered nonprofits in the United States, not to mention the thousands that exist which are not registered.
Every registered nonprofit is required to have a board of directors that oversees the affairs of the organization. However, most nonprofit boards are poorly trained, if they are trained at all… which causes many organizations to under perform and never live up to their true potential.
