Board Members' Influence on the Government-Nonprofit Relationship

Abstract

Examines whether, how, & under what conditions nonprofit boards of directors influence the government & voluntary sector relationship, based on a survey of executive directors & board presidents in a randomly selected sample of 400 nonprofit organizations. Findings indicate that boards are not bystanders in the contracting relationship with government. Rather, many boards play multiple roles, simultaneously enhancing interdependence & maintaining the boundary between state government & nonprofits. 5 Tables, 2 Exhibits, 43 References. Adapted from the source document.
