Note: The materials in this packet reflect best practices for topics
most often requested by more than 65 boards of CCCU and other
faith-based institutions. Further resources developed over 25 years
can be found in (1) Good Governance for Nonprofits, by Laughlin
and Andringa that explains how to document dozens of best
practices in an organized Board Policies Manual (BPM). You can

the key principles of good governance are also in the Nonprofit
Board Answer Book, Second Edition (2007) by BoardSource
(which contains most of what was in the Andringa & Engstrom 2004
Expanded Edition by the same title). Training tools can be
