The document provides information on the roles and responsibilities of nonprofit boards. It discusses that boards have two key roles of legal compliance and adding value to the organization. The board is responsible for providing continuity, selecting leadership, governing through policies and objectives, acquiring resources, and being accountable. Board members should have relevant skills and commit time to meetings, committees, and oversight duties while avoiding conflicts of interest. The board and CEO share some responsibilities like planning and promoting the organization, while operational duties fall more to the CEO and staff. The document stresses the importance of the board focusing on governance rather than micromanaging the day-to-day operations.
