November 6, 2018 By eJP

By Amy Asin An executive committee can play a crucial role in the strategic leadership of a congregation. Regrettably, many congregational executive committees - rather than fulfilling their true purpose - serve only to preprocess board decisions, leading to a disengaged board.

[eJP note: Being a board member is hard work; a board chair, even more so. In looking at some of our most high profile organizations - in both Israel and the US - we find chairs who have abdicated all responsibility to the professional staff and board members, most of … [Read more...] about Board Members or Members Who Are Bored: Are Lay Leaders Really An Asset to the Nonprofit Organization?
