It can also serve as a review of the performance characteristics for the seasoned director. A primer, rather than an encyclopedia or textbook, The Perfect Board describes what it takes to be an effective member of any Board of Directors. From loyalty to care to leadership and Rules of Order, The Perfect Board lends insight and direction into this very important position.
The Perfect Board is a combination narrative and informative book. Rebecca Mayfield discovers that being named to a Board of Directors carries duties and responsibilities for which she is unprepared. Seeking advice from a friend, she is directed to Edward Cummings, the reluctant but knowledgeable guru of what goes on behind Boardroom doors. Cummings decides to share what he has learned over the years with Rebecca and shows her the way to become the perfect Board member. She quickly reads and understands what is expected from a Director of a Board in today's world and is prepared to meet her new challenge.
"I believe this concise gem is 'perfect' - both as a primer for the novice director and as a refresher for the veteran!"

Experts estimate there are more than 100,000 associations headquartered in the United States. As industries and professions become more specialized, and as legislation requires more special interest groups, that number increases every day.
In budget-conscious decade of the '90s, associations are seeking more prudent methods of managing their affairs. Association Management Companies (AMCs) have become an increasingly popular option because they offer all of the services association members expect without the overhead and headaches associated with captive staff and office.
An AMC can allow you to profit in the traditionally non-profit association world. If you don't mind long hours, if you are adept at wearing many hats and juggling multiple tasks, and if you are looking for an exciting challenge, perhaps opening an AMC is for you.
Bob Harris and Cal Clemons have a combined four decades of experience running successful AMCs. In Building an Association Management Company, they share their secrets on everything from getting started, to business and marketing plans, to soliciting and serving clients, to what the future holds.
