Board Governance Handbook & Onboarding

New board members effective in week one.

A board handbook that's actually used is short, honest, and updated when things change. This one is built to be printed the day someone accepts a seat and read on the way to the first meeting — governance, expectations, fundraising commitment, and the culture nobody writes down.

What’s inside

• Governance handbook covering fiduciary duties, meeting structure, and committee scope
• New-member onboarding checklist for the first six months
• A one-page fundraising expectation document (the "give or get" conversation, on paper)
• Meeting-prep templates so new members show up ready, not confused

You may not need this if: Your board has strong onboarding already and new members ramp in under a quarter.
