BoardSource, formerly the National Center for Nonprofit Boards, is an American nonprofit organization founded in 1988. Its mission is to build nonprofit boards and encourage board service. BoardSource offers consulting services, publications and a membership program to increase the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations by strengthening their boards of directors. == History == In the early 1980s, the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges and Independent Sector conducted a survey and found that 30 percent of respondents believed they were doing a good job of board education and training, with the rest of the respondents reporting little, if any, activity in strengthening governance. As a result, the two organizations proposed the creation of a new organization whose mission was to increase the effectiveness of nonprofit boards.〔(Campbell, Mary Beth, "NOT Governance as Usual," Foundation News & Commentary, Council on Foundations, January/February 2001 )〕 With a lead grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation〔(Kellogg Grant Information )〕 as well as funding from five other donors, the National Center for Nonprofit Boards opened its doors in 1988 with a staff of three and an operating budget of US$385,000. The National Center for Nonprofit Boards changed its name to BoardSource in 2002. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BoardSource」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
