Linking Mission to Money
was designed to help volunteer board members positively impact an organization’s mission by achieving financial goals. The 100-page book, authored by Allen J. Proctor, was developed with support from Grange
Insurance and Huntington Bank.
“The
benefit and the liability of being a board member lies with each member of the board,” Proctor commented. “This book is intended to help volunteers satisfy their commitment by explaining finance as the core
of a holistic approach to fulfilling board responsibility.”
Proctor
noted that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) has refocused attention on the responsibility and accountability that board membership
brings. He said that board members are fiduciaries, which means they have the
legal responsibility and personal liability to know what is going on at their organization.
Written
specifically for non-financial experts, Linking Mission to Money uses conversational style and short, digestible
chapters. Topics range from planning and priorities to sustaining mission through
adversity.
