[Ailist] Board of Directors Orientation

[Pygriff at aol.com]

Folks:
 
I'm doing some research into best practices in orienting new members to 
nonprofit boards of directors.  I wonder if those of you who are on, or have been 
on BODs, would answer a couple of questions:
 
1.  When you joined a board of directors, what things were done for you or 
with you that helped you to:
 
---  feel a part of the board
---  bring your talents to the activities of the board
---  make a contribution to the organization
---  have a good time in the process
 
2.  What are one or two best practices you have seen in board of director 
orientation?  What made those things good or effective?
 
Many thanks for any ideas you may have!
 
Best wishes,
 
Paula Griffin
