In the past two months, Children Are First (a fictitious human services organization) has had board members resign from their positions stating that the board lacks direction and does very little to help the organization. Each of you will serve on a task force to address this issue. You will choose one of these roles and address the questions in your discussion. Please choose a role not many others have chosen. Be sure to identify your role at the beginning of your post. At the end of the week you should post your thoughts on a potential action plan based on what others have posted.
Role 1: Structure, Purpose, and Management of Meetings
What should the purpose of the board be? How should the board be structured and how should meetings be managed?
