Yale case studies in volunteer governance?

From: Peter Dobkin Hall (12/30/95): CASES IN NONPROFIT GOVERNANCE: A NEW CASE SERIES FROM YALE'S PROGRAM ON NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS (PONPO) A group of researchers connected with Yale's Changing Dimensions of Trusteeship Project has been studying nonprofit governance issues. Drawing on their rich research findings, PONPO has initiated a case series which we hope will be useful to teachers of nonprofit management, consultants working with boards, and others interested in governance issues. Thirteen of the cases have been published as Nonprofit Boards and Leadership: Cases on Governance, Change, and Board-Staff Dynamics edited by Miriam Mason Wood. (Order http://www.amazon.com/dp/0787901393/?tag=internetnonprofi">Nonprofit Boards and Leadership: Cases on Governance, Change, and Board-Staff Dynamics from Amazon.

An additional nine cases are available as brief publications directly from PONPO; they are listed at http://ponpo.som.yale.edu with prices and ordering information. Revised 1/18/00 -- PB
