Excellent overview of Carver's Policy Governance theory ., October 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: CarverGuide, Basic Principles of Policy Governance (J-B Carver Board Governance Series) (Vol 1) (Paperback)
This first in a 12-part series of general guides on Policy Governance is a great introduction to author John Carver's new approach to nonprofit board development. Basically, this approach clearly separates the roles of board and staff as they go about their separate but related jobs of organizational governance and management. Policy Governance clarifies these roles through policy development and permits the board---governing as a body---to control the management and direction of the organization in a global policy approach. This guide is a good start in grasping the concepts of the approach.

Carver guides are very god for the non profit board, July 19, 2005
This review is from: CarverGuide, Basic Principles of Policy Governance (J-B Carver Board Governance Series) (Vol 1) (Paperback)
This is the secong not-for-profit organization that I have directed. I have used this guide and the subsequent Carver guides to help with organizing and direction setting. Volunteer board members always respond well to the material. It is easy to understand yet the Carver model is very comprehensive. I would recommend this to any organization that is engaged in charitable work.
