Problem 1: For the Love of Dogs (FLD) is a new not-for-profit enterprise with a mandate to provide information to families who want to become dog owners. FLD's executive director, Lyssa, classified FLD's services into four categories: neutering/spaying, nutrition, safety, and training/behaviour. For each category, services were designed to provide education and low-cost alternatives to dog owners, such as distributing donated crates for training and safely transporting dogs. Lyssa used her past business experience to set up a budget for each category of activities based on the demand in the area, then began approaching potential donors to secure support. She recruited two new volunteer board members: one is a veterinary technician and the other is a local breeder. Which of the following represents a governance weakness in setting up FLD?

a) She recruited board members with professional, rather than management, expertise.

b) She did not define the organization's programs.

c) She did not follow a revenue-first method for budgeting.

d) She used top-down budgeting instead of bottom-up budgeting.
