Abstract

For many nonprofits, recruiting qualified and enthusiastic board members can be a challenge, and keeping them on the board for successive terms even more so. Despite that fact, many organizations—after they've gotten them on board—take those new members for granted instead of working to keep them sufficiently engaged in their work.
