Read a case study on Board governance in Nonprofit
World by Bill Roy, Virginia Jacko and consultant Doug Eadie.
Miami Lighthouse Board of Directors is
comprised of a diverse and dynamic group of volunteers, who provide
leadership and support to ensure the vitality of the organization.
The Miami Lighthouse Board adopted a contemporary
high-impact governance model in early 2007 which channels the energy and
talents of board members in three areas of governance: monitoring,
planning, and external relations. Further, it facilitates a close,
enduring, and truly effective Board-CEO partnership which has a
significant impact in organizational affairs.
