Authored by Lorin Letendre and Ann N. James
© 2004 by the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD)

This pioneering Handbook, published by the leading professional association on board governance, sheds light on what actually happens inside the boardroom where decisions are made and actions taken. Drawing on many interviews with corporate directors as well as their own extensive experience serving on boards of directors, the authors provide immediately useful insights and advice on how to get the best results out of board or committee meetings. The Handbook covers the entire cycle of conducting such meetings, beginning with advance planning and finishing with tracking and evaluating meeting results and outcomes in preparation for the next meeting. As NACD's President & CEO, Roger W. Raber, stated in his Foreword: "Lorin Letendre and Ann James offer the director practical advice on how to make boards run more efficiently; to have productive meetings; to communicate with each other and management constructively; and in general to become more engaged in the governance process."

This Handbook offers every director on for-profit and non-profit boards a wealth of "how-to" or step-by-step suggestions on how to enhance or improve governance processes and ensure that their board is a high-performance team.
