Response

Ethical behavior, trustworthiness and culpability of non-profit organization’s board members is imperative. No matter how many people an organization helps or how philanthropic it may be in the eyes of people it only take one misstep to ruin years of development and hard work. I too agree that policies and procedures must the transparent so that everyone is in agreement from the boardroom to the CEO office to the administrative and custodial staff. Everyone has a vital part to play when they decide to work for a non-profit. The job of everyone is to make sure that the organization can continue its humanitarian efforts well after our jobs are done.
