Legal Responsibilities

There are main three legal responsibilities for boards of nonprofits in the U.S. - the specific statutes vary a little from State to State.

The long and short is, if you are coming into a Board position with your own agenda, an axe to grind, and a desire to change the way things are being done, it will end up being an exercise in futility for both you and the rest of the team. No single Board member has any real "power", a board acts as a single unit to make strategic decisions. Once those decisions are made, they must speak as one even if personally you disagree with the decision made.

Still this gives you an idea of the nature of what is expected - just a taste.
