Effective governance is one of the most important aspects of running a successful arts organisation. But what makes a great board? What are a board?s responsibilities? And how do you attract terrific board members?

On Board is a short, easy-to-read guide to the basics of governance for arts organisations. It provides brief notes and checklists on a range of aspects of a board's operations, including legal and financial responsibilities, the relationship with the CEO, strategic and financial planning, and recruitment and induction of members. It?s a useful resource for those serving on boards and for staff of arts organisations who work closely with their chairs and board members.
