5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Foundation - Practical Information, January 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Effective Board Member: Secrets of Making a Significant Contribution to Any Organization You Serve (Paperback)
Before I read this book I was uncomfortable in my role as a board member of a 300-member church. Our board wasn't much of a help to our pastor. I had no idea of my responsibilities as a board member and we weren't very effective. We had no formal orientation to bring new members up to speed and our bad habits perpetuated. In a practical way, this book laid the foundation necessary to turn that around. It helped me realize my role and step into it, which helped us lift some of the burdens from our leader. I applaud Mr. Biehl for this work and would highly recommend it to any non-profit board member.

4.0 out of 5 stars CCC Church Board, April 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Effective Board Member: Secrets of Making a Significant Contribution to Any Organization You Serve (Paperback)
This book has proven an excellent help for our church board members. Most people elected to these board positions lack the training on might find in the corporate arena. We reccomend this book and are purchasing one copy for each of our board members. Don't be uninformed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Real Relavant, August 20, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Effective Board Member: Secrets of Making a Significant Contribution to Any Organization You Serve (Paperback)
This book may be OK if you are on the board of a national or international ministry such as a missions organization or a seminary board. This book was targeting pastors and people on the board for a local church and they really missed their target. There are some good ideasand it breaks things down in detail, and maybe the name of the book could be called "Board Membership for Dummies." It just didn't seem to help me much looking at it for the church.
